Therapist

I’m a Clinical Therapist with 18 years of experience, helping people work through some of life’s hardest moments. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from Michigan State University, and throughout my career I’ve had the opportunity to work with people from many different backgrounds and walks of life.

I’ve worked with individuals struggling with substance use and recovery, depression, anxiety, stress, ADHD, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and many other issues. Over the years, I’ve learned that therapy isn’t about having all the answers or being told what you should do. Life is complicated, and sometimes we simply get stuck. We can know what we want to change but still have a hard time figuring out where to start.

Therapist

My work is trauma-informed, attachment-focused, and relational. I begin with “What happened and how did your nervous system learn to survive it?” Emotional neglect is painful precisely because it is invisible. I create a space where your inner experience is met with steadiness, clarity, and care. Healing attachment wounds requires presence that stays.

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 Therapist in Kalamazoo

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.

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