NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS
 
In therapy, relationships are my priority.  My intentions are for a strong mutual relationship to ensure open communication and an individualized approach to your needs.  I take a positive solution-focused approach to your needs.  I am an out-going person who enjoys working with families and building a growth mindset. 
 
I graduated from Grand Valley State University in 2016 with my Bachelor’s with my major in psychology and my minor in sociology.  In April of 2019 I graduated with my Masters in Social Work with a focus on school social work and children and families.  Since graduation I have been a school social worker at a local elementary and middle school.  I have been in the social work field for about 7 years now.  Prior to graduating, I worked for a nonprofit, where I worked in the community with kids between the ages of 4 and 18  individually and in groups supporting their mental health needs.  
 
I specialize in supporting children ages 4-18 and their families as they navigate life together and work collectively to develop a better understanding of their child's needs and behaviors as family dynamics change.
