I graduated from Grand Valley State University with a Master's in Social Work in April of 2017. Since then I have worked in a variety of settings providing mental health counseling and support to adults in all stages of life. I have received additional training in areas of motivational interviewing, gentle teaching, as well as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.

When working with clients I focus on using Cognitive Behavioral and Solution Focused approaches. As appropriate I will provide tools and techniques from alternative therapies, such as Dialectical Behavioral.

I hope that all clients find that they are in a comfortable environment where they can be vulnerable without feeling judgement or criticism. Asking for help can be incredibly overwhelming, so I hope that they are able to gain a sense of peace and reassurance that they are not alone and that we can tackle any challenge together.
