Life can look manageable from the outside while feeling very different internally. You may be navigating anxiety, changes in your mood, trauma, relationship concerns, a major life transition, or simply the exhaustion of holding everything together. Therapy can offer space to exhale, better understand what you’re experiencing, and begin moving forward with greater clarity and intention.

Hi there! I have been a therapist for about 25 years (MSW- Western Michigan University). I feel grateful to have such meaningful work and honored to walk alongside such a variety of people on their journeys. My clients have described me as irreverent, honest, and caring.

Many folks come to therapy in times of crisis and others come because they are looking for a neutral place to talk and process a wide range of life experiences including trauma, anxiety/depression, substance concerns, and relationship issues.

In my non-work hours you'd find me spending time with my elementary age kiddo and our dog, listening to live music, swimming in Lake Michigan, or finishing up a good jigsaw puzzle!
