About me
I am an empathic therapist with many years of experience working with children, families, and individuals struggling with issues of Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Attention Deficit, Autism Spectrum, among others. I strive to be both compassionate and empathic while helping the client along their journey of healing. I am able to use a variety of clinical approaches which the client can select according to their own comfort level from medical model to solution focused, to spiritual or Christian counseling, to holistic and energy work, along with traditional models of Cognitive Behavioral Methods and Narrative Therapies. I can adapt and modify any or all of these modalities according to the best response and comfort level of the client. I rely on quick thinking and a sense of humor and engage clients with genuine concern for their well-being.
I received my MSW education from Grand Valley State University and my degree in Family Life Education from Spring Arbor College. I have obtained additional certifications as a trauma specialist, a Reiki practitioner, an Advanced Clinical Heart-Centered Hypnotherapist, and I am certified to lead seminars in Intensive Personal Life Transformation.
I look forward to working with you as you travel your journey.
