A therapist in Grand Rapids, MI can offer treatment, mental health resources, and support whether you want to improve your mental well being, work on issues in your personal life, or have more specific concerns.

There are many therapy options in Grand Rapids. In-person counseling services can give you the safe and comfortable environment you need to navigate life's challenges. However, finding a therapist with an open appointment that fits your schedule can be challenging unless you’re willing to drive all over West Michigan. Online therapy with a platform like BetterHelp can make finding therapy options that work around your schedule, allowing you to get support from a highly trained professional in a nurturing environment from the comfort of your home. 

Any therapist, whether online or in person, can help with a variety of concerns in a non-judgmental environment. During your first appointment, your therapist will get to know you and explain the therapeutic process they feel will work best for you. Whether you need to talk to someone about your sexual orientation, past experiences, or how to manage a mental health condition, connect with a Grand Rapids-based therapist to get started.

I am a licensed professional counselor with a background in human services, education, and social work. I have worked with individuals struggling with the grief and loss of a loved one, domestic violence, trauma, diagnosed personality disorders, anxiety and depression, poverty and homelessness, human trafficking victims, and individuals experiencing chronic pain. Although my experiences are diverse, I have learned two overarching truths: human suffering is universal AND there is always hope. My style of treatment is person-centered and eclectic. I know that "one-size-fits-all" is never true with mental health treatment. Each client has a unique story and therapeutic goals are developed cooperatively with that in mind. You are the expert on you. I am often described as a warm and empathetic listener, but I am also willing to provide reflective feedback during "stuck" moments in treatment. If you are ready to move towards a path of healing, hope, and wholeness, contact me and we will begin this journey together.
