My career has been spent working with children, adolescents, and families in the West Michigan area. I have treated a variety of disorders and challenges including, ADHD, trauma, abuse, mood disorders, suicidal ideation, and self-harm and have worked with a wide range of disorders and difficulties in my time as a home-based therapist and an adolescent residential unit. Children and adolescents have endless potential and I feel each should have the opportunity to grow and learn how to best manage their symptoms.
My goal is to provide an environment that is empathetic, compassionate, and safe. People need a safe space to process what they are experiencing, and it is my goal to provide that. Ultimately, my hope is for others to learn how to manage their lives in a way that makes them feel successful and to become the best version of themselves.

USING YOUR INSURANCE?
If you decide to use your insurance benefits for “behavioral or mental health,” contact your insurance company and ask the following questions:
Do I have outpatient mental health benefits?
Do I have a deductible to meet for in or out of network benefits?
If yes, how much is your total deductible?
If yes, how much of the deductible has been met?
Can I be seen by a LLMSW, LMSW, TLLP, LLP, LLPC, LPC, LLMFT, LMFT, or PhD?
Does my insurance allow supervision by a PhD or LMSW?
Is my therapist in or out of network?
If my therapist is out of network, what will my insurance cover for out of network services?
How many visits am I allowed per year?
If there a limit on visits, how many have I used already?
What is my policy plan year (i.e., January to January or September to September)?
Do I need a referral or authorization in order to be seen for therapy or testing?
Will my insurance cover individual and group therapy are on the same day?
