I believe people make sense --- that what they think, feel and do is understandable if you take the time to learn about their experiences, fears, goals, etc. I approach people from that perspective and also from the perspective that people can grow and evolve and to change the ways they think, feel and behave in order to have a healthier approach to life and relationships. Because, while people make sense, we don't always operate from the best parts of ourselves. I love to help people learn more adaptive, productive and helpful ways to think and behave, which leads to feeing better.

About Me

​

I'm from a small town in West Michigan and grew up in a working class family. I have a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology. After grad school, I lived and worked in Chicago for a year before returning to the Grand Rapids area. Most of my training and experience over the past decade is in working with couples and in helping people with relationship issues.
