Headwaters is a private psychology practice serving the West Michigan area with the highest quality counseling and psychotherapy services. We have a number of therapists on staff with unique personalities and treatment modalities so we can assist clients with all needs.

From my perspective, the best work is done when you feel comfortable with and known by your therapist. Everyone’s situation is different, and I believe that context matters and is important to understanding ourselves and others. Gaining insight into the intertwining context of our lives can help us better understand our concerns and how to move forward. I take a collaborative and individualized approach to work with clients to address each person’s own context. I utilize a humanistic, person-centered approach, often pulling from feminist and interpersonal perspectives to better understand client concerns. I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ concerns such as sexuality, gender, and attractionality exploration, understanding, transition, and acceptance. I enjoy helping clients work through life transitions, family of origin problems, and general identity concerns. I also have experience working with depression, anxiety, and stress management. If you are looking for someone who will be nonjudgmental and collaborative, I am here to listen and guide you through this process. Whether you’ve never been to therapy before or you need something new, we can explore your concerns together at your pace. I provide telehealth services only to those in the state of Michigan.

Are you trying to reach your goals, but feel like you're running in circles? I can help with improving your happiness, addressing a problem-area in your life, or whatever else you want to focus on. One-size-fits-all counseling doesn't work, so I individualize each client's experience based on what works best for them. I believe in a mind-body-spirit approach where we have to take care of all three to feel truly fulfilled, which is why I also offer Christian counseling. I have a Master of Arts in counseling (MAC). In addition, I'm a fully licensed practicing counselor (LPC), a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC), and Substance Abuse Professional (SAP). I've also been trained directly through the Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) Institute. Warmth and insight are the foundation of our sessions, especially as I understand we all need someone to be ourselves with. Life can be challenging at times, but we don't have to go through it alone. I became a counselor because of my passion for helping others, so please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or for more information!

Supportive, Client-Based and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

One of my favorite quotes is " Life ain't always beautiful, but it's a beautiful ride." I have often found that life can throw you a curveball when you least expect it, and it is often hard to navigate those challenges on your own. Have you ever found yourself feelings anxious, overwhelmed, or depressed about things going on in your life? What if you could have an unbiased, safe space to openly express those thoughts or feelings without needing to censor yourself or fear judgement. That is what I do, provide a safe space where you can feel empowered to openly express yourself and work towards achieving your goals. I have been a social worker for 26 years, helping individuals navigate on-going struggles in their lives such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, end of life, and grief. I utilize talk therapy and humor to assist my clients in working through their thoughts/fears and help them learn new approaches for coping with life's challenges.

Through the use of Mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques, my focus involves supporting clients in self-esteem development, anxiety reduction, mood improvement and personal growth. It is important to me that my clients truly feel heard and I strive to instill strength in every session.
