I'm already proud of you for taking this step to explore getting some extra support. Life is hard. I'm willing to help you sift through the tough stuff, so you can spend more time thriving.

I work with variety of clients, but most of my clients come to me for help with relationship issues -- significant other, friend, family and work relationships. College students often come to me with issues related to roommates, gaining independence from parents, anxiety related to overwhelming school work, career choices and figuring out who they are. College years can be an amazing time of growth and opportunity, but they can also be incredibly stressful. I love to help college students navigate and find their ways through the many twists and turns of college life.

My hearts desire is to walk along side people when life is hard (because it is hard for everyone, at some point) and help them find the peace and joy they desire. My foundation, my rock is Faith and that is at the core of who I am. But I know that is not everyone’s truth and I have worked with so many people who have different beliefs. When I worked in hospice,there was always a spiritual component, we always asked patients what their meaning of life is. Whatever that is for you, I want to walk along side of that. My experience as a coach, a youth leaders, an oldest of four daughters...I have seen so many young girls seeking for something that is missing. Seeking for a sense of belonging, seeking for Love and sense of worthiness. I want to help you discover that. I want to walk this hard journey with you. We are not meant to do this life alone.

I work with teens and college students to help them deal with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns. I also help people who are stressed out and need some clarity about big decisions such as whether to change majors. I use Solution Focused Therapy which means I'll help you get a clear idea of what you want things to look like in the immediate future and then help you use your current strengths and past successes to make it happen. I'll help you get ideas for small but do-able changes to start with, and these small changes add up to big change.

Please contact me if you are looking for a therapeutic relationship that provides support and resources as we work to help you overcome anxiety, depression, and family conflict by creating an environment where you feel safe, your strengths are emphasized, your individual diversity is celebrated, and your treatment is paced appropriately for you. Often this therapeutic relationship can provide a space where you can unpack past experiences and gain perspective as to how past events may impact your life, relationships, and choices today. My eclectic and relational approach allows the flexibility needed to meet each person where they are and help them move forward in processing past challenges and growing more prepared to meet future challenges by providing not only strategies and tools to improve symptoms but also guiding you toward insight that may transform your perspective moving forward. Let's get started on your journey toward living life as your truest self. Learning to express your emotions, know yourself, and become able to protect your boundaries in relationships with others.

Life changes and personal growth are inevitable, and sometimes can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate. ESPECIALLY attending college, being on our own for the first time, and trying to figure out this “”adulting” thing. A lack of change or growth can cause us to feel unhappy with ourselves. Whether you are struggling with adapting to changes in life or are feeling stuck, or feel pressure to trying to figure out your future, I’d love to help you! My approach is to meet you wherever you are (emotionally, mentally, spiritually, or physically) and help you set goals (at your pace) that you want to accomplish in therapy. My goal is to offer you a laid-back, sometimes fun, safe place for you to process your challenges, to feel supported, and to build confidence in your ability to initiate that desired change; or face those scary, inevitable changes. I received my Master of Social Work from Grand Valley State University. My experience has been focused on working with children, adolescents, and families in residential, school and home-based, and inpatient mental health treatment settings. I have a background in working with mild to severe mental health issues including anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation/self-harm, perinatal/postpartum issues, bipolar and related mood disorders, psychotic disorders, personality disorders, stress management, life transitions, grief and loss, and co-occurring disorders. Therapeutic approaches I commonly utilize are Motivational Interviewing, Brief-Solution, Focused Therapy, Strengths-Based, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills, and Mindfulness Practices.

During our sessions together, I will support you in exploring the many parts of you and how they came to be. I will work with you to identify the negative messages connected to these parts of you. We will form a relationship with these parts and create a safe place for all of you to be seen, heard, and understood. In this safe place, you will heal yourself. Developing my own internal resources has helped me to move through some very difficult times as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Using evidence based research, I provide care that values every part of you and respects where you came from. In those moments of pain and struggle and self-discovery, I will help you to choose yourself. I seek to create a safe and inclusive space for black-bodied individuals, first generation immigrants, LGBTQ+ folks, survivors of trauma, sex workers, and clients who are struggling with relationship and intimacy issues. My approach to mental health care is rooted in anti-oppressive and decolonizing frameworks. The treatment modalities that I use have been found to be effective across many cultures, ages, genders, and experiences. I am here to support my clients in rediscovering themselves, strengthening their mind-body connection, and living the life they have always wanted.

I provide guidance and support to teens and young adults who are struggling with various life transitions such as processing family conflict, transition from high school to college, perfectionism, anxiety, student athletes who are struggling with time management, young adults and adults struggling with depression or anxiety, and adjusting to life after college. An important part of the therapy process is learning how to find balance, organize your thoughts and learn about what has shaped the story you've been telling yourself. Being busy and physically active has always been a big part of my life and has driven me to my success as a therapist. However, it hasn't always been easy. I love working with college students, especially student athletes, who are struggling with the transition to college, high pressure with academics, sports, and adults in your life that just don't seem to understand what you're going through at the moment. It's not healthy to "tough it out." Let's figure out what's going on, identify some new strategies and bring the best version of yourself forward. Making the decision to honor yourself and reach out to a therapist is often the hardest part of this process. If any of this has resonated with you while viewing the results of your search, contact me via email or phone to schedule your first appointment. Thursday evening and some weekend appointments are available at this time.
