I offer virtual therapy and in person in Allegan, Jenison, and Holland, MI. I am passionate about working alongside children, adolescents, and young adults struggling through depression, anxiety, difficult life stressors, and low self esteem. My passion as a therapist comes from a desire to help each client feel empowered to share their unique story and voice with the world. I create a safe space to navigate challenges, build coping skills, and ultimately, take control of your life and your story.
I primarily use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness strategies, as well as elements of art and play therapies to build skills to help you cope with the challenges of life.
Please reach out to have a quick chat to see if we are a good fit for each other! Looking forward to chatting!
