I am a fully licensed professional counselor in the state of Michigan. My experience has been predominantly with men and women struggling with substance abuse and addiction. I have tried many theoretical orientations over the years. Currently, however, I am pursuing certification in biblical Christian counseling, which draws exclusively from biblical information and principles. I have found that this is by far the most effective approach when an individual is looking to make authentic change. And believe me, I have looked! Thanks!

I scheduled a session with Ginger based on what she shared in her profile. It’s been an uplifting experience meeting with her. I have found her to ask great questions that really help me to think through my challenges. She is knowledgeable and experienced. I feel understood, seen and hopeful. I’m so glad I found her here on BetterHelp.
