We want you to get the care you deserve.

I graduated from Calvin College (now Calvin University) with a BSW and continued my education at Aurora University with an MSW. I specialized in clinical social work and received my Type 73 school social work certificate along with my MSW.

​

When we work together you can expect us to identify your goals and the things in your life you want changed. Usually, we begin in the present because it’s the easiest place to identify what we want to change. All present day problems begin in the past and to address root causes I use EMDR or several other approaches to resolve the past.

​

Some of the other methods I frequently use include: art, sand tray and play therapy. Working through emotions can be really hard but there are days when we laugh and you enjoy being in the office. My role is to be your guide on the path that we decide will help you get you to where you want to be. I can’t change your circumstances but together we can change how you feel about them and how you react to them.

​

In my free time I enjoy working with my two dogs, riding horses and all sorts of creative and crafty things.
