My passion is helping clients heal from "Relationship Trauma" (intimate partners or parents/family). Have you, or are you currently, suffering from Narcissistic Abuse, Codependency, People-pleasing, difficulty setting Boundaries, or have a pattern of staying in unhealthy relationships? I have helped many clients (men and women) who struggle in these areas. I will help you understand how you arrived at this place, and we can work together to help you heal. I can guide you in learning to create and maintain healthy boundaries, increase self-esteem and confidence, reduce guilt, and enjoy healthier relationships.
I have a unique perspective because I have dealt with (and have overcome) many of these issues in my own life. This work is very near and dear to my heart.

I believe in therapy as someone who has done my own clinical work since I was in my mid-twenties. I grew up in NJ and moved to Michigan to attend college and have been here since that time. I spent the first part of my career working in the foster care system with children and adolescents which I really enjoyed. That gave me a great foundation for working with the adult issues of attachment, child developmental stages that were not accomplished and struggles with current relationships.
I do a lot of work with people who were raised by narcissistic parents, people who are dealing with cancer diagnosis and those with chronic or life threatening illnesses. I work with people who are addressing childhood trauma, sexual abuse or emotional abuse. I have worked with adoptees who are seeking understanding of themselves and their past. I do a lot of work with individuals transitioning from a divorce situation and all the adjustments that this involves especially in coparenting situations. I find people and their life experiences fascinating and always worth unpacking and investigating to gain a better understanding of the self as a whole being; there is always something new to learn.

I was born and raised in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and after finishing graduate school at the University of Denver and receiving my MSW, I returned to Upper Michigan and began providing therapy for a diverse age population including children, adolescents, adults and couples as well as group therapy in 1995. I then moved to Virginia Beach where I contracted with the Dept of Defense providing family and individual therapy at different Naval Bases. I returned home after that time and set up a private practice where I continued to provide therapy for individuals, couples and families in my community until I started working at the VA Medical Center where I worked with veterans, caregivers and their families as a therapist as well as a case manager both in the hospital as well as on the home based team. I am now retired from the VA although I will be to continuing to use my education and trainings to hopefully work with you in this forum. You have already taken the first step to healing by exploring this site and the next step is taking the leap and scheduling the appointment. I hope that my commitment to taking this journey with you and reading a bit about what I may offer will encourage you to give therapy a try.

I have worked with a wide range of individuals in many capacities and often are paired with women who are searching for therapy with a history of anxiety, depression, addiction, generational healing, and a want to build their self-esteem and self-concept. I offer a space for any beliefs, spirituality, and inclusive to any and all that need support. My motto is that we are all human and need a village to support us through life’s challenges and be our champions in our accomplishments.
Frequently asked questions
Why filter by Michigan rather than a city
like Detroit?
When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Michigan from Grand Rapids to Warren! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Michigan.
Will my therapist take insurance?
When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.
How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?
The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.
What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?
Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.
Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?
Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.
What to expect during your first session?
Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.
Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
