Christian Therapists in Grand Rapids, MI
I am so proud of you for taking the first step in starting your healing journey. It's not easy but I am so glad that you did! The thought of receiving therapy or being vulnerable can be uncomfortable, however, the process can be life-changing. There are times where we feel unworthy, not good enough and have this idea to strive for "perfection". These thoughts can be overwhelming and can stop you from living your life wholeheartedly. My mission is to support you as you go through this process. I use Person Centered, Yoga Movement and Solution Focused therapies to help meet the need of my clients.

Have you ever felt misunderstood or alone? Do you notice that your anxiety, depression, and emotions are getting the best of you? Perhaps stress and emotions get so overwhelming that you are unable to control them or know how to get help. Maybe you want to work on improving your interpersonal relationships, or figuring out where you want to go with your life.

Is your young child struggling? Are you feeling lost with how to help? I am a registered play therapist (RPT) and specialize in working with children ages 3 to 13. Some of the children I work with have been through really difficult and painful traumas, others have experienced great loss. Some kids are struggling to express themselves or with regulating their emotions, and others are struggling with behavior challenges in school or at home. Because of my past work as a school social worker I have unique experience engaging with children with ADHD, anxiety, depression, self-harm behaviors, and other social-emotional concerns.

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.

Do you feel like you're stuck in survival mode? Trauma and pent up stress can feel plaguing and inescapable, but that doesn't have to be your forever reality. You CAN feel like you are in control of your life again. You are capable of experiencing life beyond survival again. And you are deserving of all the support to get there! As a team, I would love to work with you to help you overcome whatever is preventing you from thriving right now. It takes a lot of strength to reach out when you are in need, and I don't take that lightly.

Couples with young kiddo are particularly at risk for marriage and family strife because they are so busy, and because there is so much that is new to their brains, emotions and relationship. Figuring out how to be both mom and dad as well as husband and wife is often overwhelming and troubling. Tension builds when the relationship energy gets split between kiddos needs (and there are a lot of them!) and marriage needs (and those are valid as well). The energy to figure out how to integrate all those needs, wants, wishes becomes divided and divisive. Disconnected and discontent brew and relationship trouble stews. What to do?

No one is perfect. We've all behaved petty at some point in our lives. Over the years, petty has become popular, going viral via social media around the world; however, what I've learned in life & in this field is whether we have been that person or been impacted by someone, we can all chase the root down to something deeper than the situation, i.e. sadness, anxiety or trauma. I am here to offer you a non-judgmental space to process from the petty to highly problematic experience. I invite you to work with me to heal from the inside out (or root to the surf ace) and have more peaceful experiences with yourself & others. Let's talk!

You deserve to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning. I believe one of the bravest things you can do to achieve that is to understand your own story.

You deserve to be free from emotional pain as well as finding your purpose and meaning in your life. I will walk right next to you to help lift heavy weights and burdens from your shoulders. You do not have to walk this journey alone.
