Navigating intense daily stress, burnout, difficult life transitions, sudden traumatic events and complex health challenges - including chronic illness, brain injuries and caregiving - can leave you feeling stuck and exhausted. If you are looking for therapy that goes beyond just talking about your problems and focuses instead on how to solve them, you are in the right place.


With over 30 years experience, I provide secure telehealth sessions tailored to adults navigating life in both the fast-paced metro hubs and rural communities of Michigan (including Metro Detroit, Grand Rapids, and the U.P.) and Washington (from the Puget Sound and Seattle area to Eastern Washington). I offer weekday, daytime sessions so you can save your evenings and weekends for family, friends and rest.


Because your time and investment are valuable, I protect the integrity of our work by starting every relationship with a complimentary, no-pressure (I promise!) 15-minute introductory call. My calendar only shows openings for these calls. To ensure your care is entirely seamless, Headway will securely verify your benefits and calculate any anticipated insurance co-pays before our initial call. We do this so that when we connect for our call, you will already have a clear picture of your session coverage and costs and we can focus our 15 minutes soley on your relief and strategy forward.

James Walker

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


I enjoy learning about ways we can change and understand our human existence. We are thinking, feeling and doing beings. Cognitive behavioral therapy provides a framework to identify ways to do it differently and better. Trauma treatment modalities like EMDR may support processing neurological and physiological reactions and being able to feel secure and safe while staying connected to others more fully. Our story is just that; we write it and edit it. We get to choose the chapters and path of our lives, through the unknowns, mysteries and celebrations.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step—whether you’re new to counseling or returning after past experiences. Maybe you already know your goals, or perhaps you just know something needs to change. You might be facing relationship challenges, stress, or uncertainty about what comes next. Therapy is a safe space to slow down, sort through what feels overwhelming, and gain clarity. Together, we’ll explore your needs and create a plan that helps you move toward greater confidence, healthier connections, and a more fulfilling life.

Heather Belts

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


Hi there! I specialize in working with neurodivergent adults and people who have experienced childhood adversity. Many of my clients have ADHD, autism, or high ACE (adverse childhood experiences) scores and understand their patterns intellectually, but need help creating change that feels safe and sustainable.

I work best with clients who are ready to take an honest look at how their past continues to shape their relationships, choices, and sense of self. Trauma work cannot be rushed, so I maintain a small caseload and move at a pace that gives each client’s nervous system time to adapt. I bring genuine compassion, curiosity, and humanity into the therapy room.
