Finding a therapist can feel like a lot—especially if therapy is new, or past experiences weren't what you needed. When stress builds, relationships feel strained, or burnout leaves you stuck, reaching out takes strength. Even if things have felt this way for a long time, real, sustainable growth is possible. As an online therapist for adults in Michigan, I partner with you to leverage your existing strengths and create a clear path forward. Together, we’ll slow down and make sense of your life, helping you see yourself more clearly and create lasting change in the areas that matter most.

You are who you are for a reason. Your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors were shaped by past experiences; at one time, they served a purpose and kept you safe. Healing starts with understanding that history without judgment. Using CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and a trauma-informed approach, we’ll develop practical tools to help you reach your goals with a renewed sense of hope.

My background in clinical practice, research, teaching, and a decade in business helps me see you as a whole person, not a diagnosis. I love living in West Michigan with my wife, two daughters, two cats, and a dog with very bad manners. We enjoy traveling and trying all the baked goods. Reach out today to connect and schedule your first session.
