I believe that every person’s story is important and unique, shaped by experiences that have brought you to where you are today. Life’s challenges and triumphs alike can shape our path in powerful ways, and sometimes we need someone to walk alongside us as we reflect, heal, and grow. My goal is to provide a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered as you explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

My journey into therapy was influenced by many factors, but one of the most impactful was the example set by my great grandmother, who fostered 72 children throughout her life. Witnessing the love, care, and stability she provided to so many children left a profound impression on me. It showed me the power of compassion, patience, and truly listening to others—values that are at the core of my approach as a therapist.

I also pursued my undergraduate and graduate studies at Grand Valley State University, where my academic journey further deepened my desire to help others navigate life’s challenges.

Outside of therapy, I have a deep love for animals and spending time in nature. Whether it’s hiking, exploring, or just enjoying the outdoors, I find that nature offers a space for reflection and growth. My pets bring me joy and comfort, and I believe in the therapeutic value of being connected to animals and the natural world.

If you’re looking for a safe space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and life’s path, I’d love to walk alongside you. Feel free to reach out if you’re ready to begin your journey or want to learn more about how I can support you.
