Connecting with clients is a privilege and a joy that never gets old. My sessions are tailored to help you, the client, reach your goals. I am person centered and utilize an eclectic mix of therapeutic techniques including EMDR, IFS, ACT, and CBT. I have been practicing therapy for over 10 years and I have worked with a variety of ages and life stages.
I offer a judgment-free space where we can work together toward your mental health goals. In our work, we will not just talk through the problems, concerns, or challenges bringing you to therapy. We will also focus on practical tools that can help change how you experience those situations and support you in moving toward a healthier version of yourself. I use a blend of evidence-based treatment approaches that I tailor to each client’s unique needs and goals.
I earned my LMSW from Grand Valley State University and have 17 years of experience across a wide range of mental health settings, including outpatient care, the emergency department, inpatient treatment, and partial hospitalization, along with many other levels of care in between. My additional training includes trauma-informed care, suicide risk assessment and safety planning, and DBT. Clients can expect me to meet them where they are while being empowering, transparent, direct, and focused on helping them reach their treatment goals.
I've been a listener my whole life — since I was a teenager, long before I had any clinical training, I learned that the most powerful thing one person can do for another is to genuinely pay attention. That hasn't changed. What has changed is that now I have the tools, training, and experience to help that attention lead somewhere. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Michigan. I work with individuals, families, couples, and children — and I see clients across the state through telehealth. I'm trained in a range of approaches including CBT, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Bowen Family Systems, which means I can adapt to what actually fits you — not just apply a template. I'm also comfortable holding faith and spirituality as part of your story if that's relevant for you. I'm not a "Christian therapist" in a prescriptive sense, but I've spent years working as a chaplain and I understand how much a person's spiritual framework shapes how they see themselves and the world. That's a welcome part of the conversation here.
I have been doing this work for over 20 years now, and I look forward to working with you!

Welcome! I'm Grace.

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 Kalamazoo, MI
Searching for therapists in Kalamazoo starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist experience fits your needs. People look for therapy in Kalamazoo for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and training match what you want to address. Bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or another style that fits your preferences.
In a smaller city like Kalamazoo, local appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your choices beyond nearby offices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Michigan. As you narrow your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before you book can also show how a therapist describes their communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns like counseling in Kalamazoo, couples counseling, or behavioral health support.
Therapy in Kalamazoo can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept insurance, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and lets you schedule directly with therapists who are accepting new patients. You can compare therapists in Kalamazoo, review bios, check virtual or in-person availability, and book when you’re ready.
