As a licensed master social worker and board-certified chaplain, I believe prioritizing mental health and spiritual care is key to whole health and total well-being and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the most difficult decisions you'll ever make, so congratulations on taking that first step! My current focus is working with clients dealing with substance abuse, mental health, and marriage and family issues.
I have a PsyD in Clinical Psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. My schooling has taken me throughout the MidWest including Minnesota, Illinois, Ohio and Michigan. I have diverse clinical experience with anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, substance abuse and geriatrics. I believe mental health is vital to a happy, healthy lifestyle. I am currently focusing on one-on-one therapy for individuals struggling with multiple issues.
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 am passionate about counseling because I believe every person has the capacity to heal, grow, and create meaningful change. It is a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they overcome obstacles, rediscover their strengths, and build lives that reflect their values and goals.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and the founder of Circle of Life Wellness Services, where I provide compassionate, whole-person care for adults and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. My work focuses on supporting people through emotional overwhelm, identity shifts, relationship changes, and the many adjustments that come with different seasons of life.
I have a special interest in women’s mental health and maternal mental health, including pregnancy, postpartum adjustments, caregiving stress, burnout, and balancing personal needs with family, relationships and professional responsibilities. I also support clients coping with grief and loss, life changes, and feeling “stuck” or disconnected from themselves.
At Circle of Life, I believe healing happens when you feel safe, supported, and seen. My goal is to walk alongside you as you move toward balance, clarity, and emotional wellness—at your own pace.
I have a Master's in social work and have been practicing for over 35 years. I am very client- centered. My goal is for you to achieve what you are coming for. I strive to do itI t in the least amount of time as possible. I am certified in EMDR and trained in other trauma focused approaches.
