Evidence-Based Psychotherapy Tailored to Your Goals

I am a licensed clinical social worker specializing in therapy for adolescents and adults. As a mental health and trauma therapist, I am passionate about empowering individuals to heal from past experiences and continue growing into greater versions of themselves. I believe that this process cannot fully begin until we feel seen, heard, and understood. My goal is to foster an environment that is judgment free where individuals feel a sense of warmth, support, and safety.

I grew up in southwest Michigan and moved to Grand Rapids in 2012 to build my education in Social Work. My hobbies include spending time with my husband, friends, dog, and cat. I also enjoy nature, writing, reading, laughter, and self-growth. I believe our closest connections are what build resiliency and strength as we navigate the joys and hardships of life.
