​​​Proverbs 4:23- “Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it lows the springs of life.”

The ability to glorify God comes from the inside out, and requires a knowledge of ourselves and

how we can glorify Him in our daily lives

Hello, and WELCOME!

I am a Christian counselor, with over 20 years in the mental health field. I graduated from

Grand Valley State University in 2002 and am a licensed LMSW in the state of Michigan. My

experience is quite varied, from a brief nursing career to crisis counseling, to a present day

online practice concentrating on anxiety, depression, relationship issues overwhelming stress,

grief and loss, and the mental toll of chronic physical health conditions/disabilities.

In the last 10 years, my focus has been increasingly on mental health as it is inextricably part of

physical health. Sleep, exercise, good nutrition and spending time in nature all influence our

mental health to a great extent, and are part of my assessment and goal setting. It is exciting to

partner with other holistic health professionals to address mental health as a whole being, and

specifically for women!

Psalm 137:14: “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made, your works are wonderful…”

My emphasis and desire as a therapist is to assist women to recognize their uniqueness and

purpose, learning more about themselves in their place in Christ’s story. I do this through

several approaches, including aspects of cognitive behavioral, motivational interviewing, and

brief solution-focused therapy. I am also trained in the use of essential oils, and enjoy using

tapping techniques and breath work in my practice. I love the Clifton’s Strengths Survey as a

tool for identifying personal strengths and uniqueness.

I am thrilled to be offering therapy sessions at THE TIMES OF OUR LIVES and look forward to

meeting with you!

  suggestions and advice when asked for them, doesn't when they're

  not.... It's been amazing to have someone to talk through everything,

  even when I have nothing to say. She remembers everyone I've ever

  brought up and even remembers their relationships. She's an

  incredible therapist and I'm so happy God guides us together.”
