About me

Welcome! I’m Godfrey, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a thriving private practice in Grand Rapids, MI. With over 10 years of experience in diverse healthcare settings, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized care to help you achieve mental wellness. I invite you to reach out and schedule a consultation. Let’s work together to enhance your quality of life and empower you to thrive

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

At your first session, we’ll take the time to explore your mental health together in a comfortable, supportive space. I’ll review your current concerns, history, and any medications you’ve taken, and we’ll work toward a thoughtful diagnosis. My approach is holistic — I look at the whole person, not just symptoms — and I’ll make sure you have plenty of time to share your story and understand what’s going on. I’ll also explain any medications you’re taking or that we might consider, so you feel informed and confident about your care. It’s all about helping you know yourself better and finding the best path forward together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strengths in mental health care are my compassion, empathy, and genuine respect for the people who trust me with their care. I listen closely and strive to truly understand each person’s story. With broad experience treating a wide range of mental health conditions across different settings, I tailor my approach to meet each individual’s unique needs. Whether through medication, non-pharmacological interventions, or simply being a steady, supportive presence, my goal is always to help patients manage their symptoms so they can function and thrive in their communities. I consider it the highest privilege to serve the person right in front of me.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal patient is simply anyone who chooses to come see me. I consider it a true privilege to care for people, no matter their background or the symptoms they’re experiencing. I see the human being in front of me first—never defined by a diagnosis—and I do not discriminate. I listen closely, collaborate on a care plan that fits their life, and provide regular follow-ups to ensure we’re making meaningful progress together. To me, the best patient is anyone who trusts me enough to be part of their journey.
