As a behaviorist, I believe that the environments in which we develop ultimately play the most significant role in our actions, decisions, and outcomes. Without the proper space for growth, healing, and self-development, one may face difficulties in achieving self-realization and self-actualization. Human-beings are social creatures – genetically designed, behaviorally conditioned, and evolutionarily driven. We possess certain intrinsic, natural needs and adaptations that have developed over millions of years. If these dualistically basic and complex needs remain unfulfilled, we will struggle to attain this self-actualization.

I am an Art Therapist and Counselor with a lifelong passion for creativity and self-expression. Over the years, I’ve explored many forms of art, including drawing, painting, interior design, floral design, and card making. Creativity has always been a grounding and meaningful part of my life, and I bring that same spirit into my work with clients. I also feel deeply connected to nature and find that being outdoors—especially near water—is where I feel most like myself. This connection influences how I approach healing, often integrating creativity and the natural world into the therapeutic process. I came to this field through a desire to both help others and stay connected to my creative side. My experience includes working with young children, teens in foster care and the juvenile justice system, adults facing housing insecurity, and individuals living with traumatic brain injuries. As someone who identifies as more introverted, I value depth and authenticity. I’m drawn to meaningful conversations and strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable exploring who they are on a deeper level.

With 37 years of lived experience alongside family members facing severe mental challenges, I have gained a deep understanding of the unique struggles that individuals and families encounter in these situations. My professional journey in the mental health field spans over 12 years, during which I have worked closely with various communities, including those transitioning from in-patient mental health facilities.

My experiences working on local farms have further enriched my perspective and resilience. The mental health field chose me, offering a sense of purpose in navigating my own life challenges.

Over 15 years ago, I began my work as a licensed professional counselor. Since then, I’ve worked with diverse individuals and consistently seen that when people are empowered with the right information, they can often find the best solutions to their challenges. Using a range of evidence-based therapies, I guide purposeful conversations and reflection to support that process. I believe in discussing difficult topics with compassion and without judgment. Because you are the expert on your own life, collaboration is central to our work. Together, we develop practical and creative solutions, remain flexible as needs evolve, and build a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship focused on your goals. My experience includes four years working primarily with children and teenagers facing anxiety, mood concerns, relationship challenges, stress, and future planning. Prior to that, I worked in community mental health supporting clients ages 11 to 99 with a wide range of mental health concerns. I approach each client with respect for their resilience and capacity for growth. My role is to offer clarity, tools, and guidance as we work together to build confidence, develop strategies, and create meaningful progress toward your goals.

I’ve had the opportunity to work in many different settings—schools, prisons, home-based services, outpatient care, crisis response, addiction centers, and private practice—which has given me experience with a wide variety of people. I specialize in helping clients with complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, family or relationship conflicts, communication issues, and complex sexual issues. I’ve also worked with youth, older adults, multicultural communities, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ clients. My approach is person-centered, holistic, and tailored to your needs. I use evidence-based tools like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, core belief work, and solution-focused strategies. I’m direct, yet always empathetic, supportive, and non-judgmental. I’ll help you step outside your comfort zone when needed, while making sure you feel safe and understood. Together, we’ll work on your goals using practical tools like worksheets and assessments, while building skills you can use in your everyday life. My hope is to help you feel more in control, confident, and empowered as you create the changes you want to see. Thank you for taking the time to learn about me—I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your journey toward healing and growth!

Shaped by a wealth of life experience, I am a dedicated therapist specializing in the healing journeys of women and girls. My mission is grounded in compassion: to help you embrace self-compassion, build resilience, and rediscover your inner strength. I work with clients navigating a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma and PTSD, intimate partner violence, perinatal and postpartum concerns, and grief and loss. No matter where you are in your journey, you don't have to face it alone. My approach is deeply person-centered — meaning your goals, your pace, and your voice lead the way. I draw on evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to provide care that is both effective and tailored to your unique needs. Above all, I am here to walk alongside you — meeting you where you are and supporting you every step of the way toward the life you deserve.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. I specialize in working with men’s mental health, career challenges, and building practical skills for long term emotional resilience. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and narrative therapy. I focus on helping you understand your patterns, develop effective coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change not just symptom relief. Clients often describe my style as direct, down to earth, and collaborative. I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation, not a clinical script. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just trying to get your life back on track, we’ll work together to build clarity, confidence, and momentum.

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 Michigan. 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 Depression?

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. For example, your selected specialty, Depression, is filtering therapists in Michigan that work with patients with similar concerns.

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 happens during the first therapy 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.
