Adults Therapists in Grand Rapids, MI
I have a passion for assisting children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families working through life transitions and trauma.
The deepest goal of counseling is learning about yourself by teaching me about you. This idea can be daunting. You might be asking yourself, “What will I learn? Am I ready? What will this journey be like?” Sometimes starting the process is the hardest part! The beauty of counseling is that the journey doesn’t have to be taken alone. When you find a therapist that fits well, it can feel less like stumbling through a dark forest and more like forging a path of your own. No matter what brings you to therapy, feeling empowered, safe, and understood through the process can make all the difference in the world.

I work with adults (ages 18 and older), who struggle with PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, family and relational issues, ADHD and couples counseling.
I believe in a Strength-Based approach to therapy. My belief is to start with what is working (even if it is just a little bit) and build from there. I encourage the client to have an active voice in the treatment process and to be involved in their clinical goal setting. I find that CBT and somatic techniques are helpful with many clients and utilize a variety of skills and activities to help clients learn and use these techniques in their daily life.

In addition to adults, I am also open to working with adolescents ages 17 and up as well as caregivers who need support with their children.
I was born to a Caucasian mother and an African American father. I married into a Mexican American family. I had my first child at 15 and a master’s degree at 24. Why do I share all of this up front? Because I see life through many different angles. And it’s beautiful! But it doesn't always feel that way. Feelings of loneliness, confusion, shame and sadness are part of the human experience. Relationships are messy. But the biggest battle we face is often the one within ourselves. My goal for you in therapy is for you to gain the skills and support you need to maximize your ability to manage whatever has brought you to this moment.

Just as we sometimes need help caring for physical aches and pains, we often need help improving our mental health. I am passionate about helping others look inward to learn more about themselves and connect with their inner voice through the power of therapy. At its heart, therapy is as powerful as what you put into it. Being vulnerable can often feel daunting, but by working together, my goal is to help you build the confidence you need to bravely take the reins when you feel like the life you want is just out of reach.
