Therapist

I approach therapy with respect, curiosity, and a bit of humor. I offer trauma-informed care which has led me to work with people who have gone through hard times and survived. I earned my master’s degree from Michigan State University and have stayed in the East Lansing area since then, working in local residential treatment facilities for teens and in an outpatient intensive treatment program with adults. I have spent the last 15 years working with adults in crisis, whether that is temporary situations like relationship issues or more chronic conditions.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in unhelpful patterns of thinking? You don’t have to figure it out on your own. I work with adults who want to feel more balanced, confident, and in control of their lives, but aren’t sure where to start. Together, we’ll explore the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that are getting in your way and gently build new ways of coping so you can move toward the life you want with more ease and self-compassion.

I work with mothers who are overwhelmed, burnt-out, or tired of juggling it all. For some, the intensity of motherhood brings up difficult emotions or unprocessed parts of their past. Others feel lost under the burden of care-taking and managing the mental load. With compassion and skill, we’ll tend to the parts of you that have been neglected. We’ll develop strategies for prioritizing your needs. We’ll make space for your brilliant light to shine once again!

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Grand Rapids, MI

Searching for therapists in Grand Rapids starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Grand Rapids therapists may support concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and training match what you want to address. Provider bios can also help you understand whether someone uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Grand Rapids has a strong local mental health care community, with therapists across neighborhoods like Eastown, Heritage Hill, Midtown, and nearby areas. Some people prefer in-person therapy near home, work, or school, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling flexibility. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, clinical focus, and what to expect in a first session.

Therapy in Grand Rapids can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm what coverage is available in Grand Rapids.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
