If you choose to schedule an appointment with me you can expect a comfortable atmosphere and a relaxed non-judgmental attitude. In the beginning, I will ask more questions but once baseline knowledge is obtained I become less directive and believe that each client will expose their thoughts & feelings if given the space to do so. I am guided by the philosophy that your recovery is your road and your goals are the most important part of our time together. I have found that the areas that need addressing may not be obvious at first but in time they show themselves to us.
Self-awareness is a primary objective and I utilize a variety of skill-building and process based techniques to help my clients achieve their self-determined goals.

I earned a B.A. in Sociology from Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee. I earned my M.A. degree in Counseling from Grand Rapids Theological Seminary in Grand Rapids, Michigan. My formal education and professional experience have prepared me to counsel individuals, couples, families, groups, vocational, career guidance, treatment planning and development, and diagnostic interventions.
If you choose to schedule an appointment with me you can expect a sincere, comfortable, and relaxing atmosphere in which I aspire to present a non-judgmental, genuine, and dedicated attitude. Recognizing that we all, at some point in our life, need a place that represents safety and support, I strive to offer a therapeutic environment in which my clients can expose their thoughts and feelings, re-establish healthy life skills, and gain new insight. I am dedicated to rendering services with clinical counseling principles, methods, and procedures in order that you may achieve spiritual, social, personal, career, and emotional development.

I am a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor, and Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Clinical Social Work from The University of St. Thomas and St. Catherine University. I have extensive experience working with Southeast Asian refugee and immigrant populations.
I strive to nurture a supportive, non-judgmental and safe therapeutic environment. Creating a strong and healthy therapeutic relationship is also very important to me as I believe all interactions are opportunities for healing, learning, and growing. I am mindful that everyone heals and recovers at a different pace with the appropriate support; therefore, my approach is eclectic and client-centered. I often turn to an integration of approaches notably derived from attachment, positive psychology, strength-based, mindfulness, Adlerian, and Humanistic understandings.

I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from Grand Valley State University and Masters of Educational Psychology from Baylor University. Upon graduation I studied Spanish in Guadalajara, Mexico before moving from Texas to Michigan. I passed the national counseling examination and became licensed to practice counseling in 2005.
If you choose to schedule an appointment with me you can expect a comfortable atmosphere and a relaxed non-judgmental attitude. I follow the 80/20 rule; I expect the client to talk 80% of the time with my clinical comments / insights accounting for the remaining 20% of the dialogue. I encourage each client to tell me what it is that they need from me (education, insights, advice, validation, etc.). Everyone has blind spots and I am honored to be given the opportunity to help identify and speak into the blind spots of my clients.

I grew up south of Chicago in a small working-class town. I came to Grand Rapids when I decided to study at Calvin College, earning a degree in German language and history. I graduated from Grand Valley State University with my Master’s of Social Work with an emphasis in clinical work.
My assumption is that it’s taken some time for you to consider reaching out to a therapist. It is so necessary and also difficult to become vulnerable to talk about what you would like different for your life. My job is to get a complete picture in the beginning to understand how that has happened, and then, always with your consent, to propose how I might be helpful in changing that picture.
I am, at heart, a Logotherapist. I want for you to develop a sense of purpose and meaning for your life, at which point, you will no longer need a therapist. I will use any or all of my training to get to that point- cognitive therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprogramming (EMDR), exposure therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness.

As a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, I have more than a decade of experience in substance abuse and working in the legal system. My personal and professional experiences afford me a unique understanding of addiction counseling and the criminal justice system.

I assist each client by helping them to adopt a goal-oriented mindset and ensure clients under my care receive appropriate screening / assessment and follow-up treatment. Through trust and dialogue, we will address moral reasoning, belief systems, thinking, and behavior patterns to develop a plan that moves you through the problem or issue so that you can move forward in life.

With more than 25 years of experience in the Health and Wellness Industry, I am passionate about helping others learn the profound significance diet and nutrition have on our total body health and livelihood.
Although, there are some fundamental truths applicable to all, I do not use a “one size fits all” approach. How each person chooses to eat and how their body responds to what they eat is different. It is my job to help clients learn to listen to their body. I also work diligently to teach clients how to eat so that their bodies are given the opportunity to repair, restore, and thrive, the way they were created to.
