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.

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 Veterans?

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, Veterans, 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 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.
