About

God made us and knows us.  Our job is to know Him so we can find our identity.  As parents our job is to help our kids know Him while simultaneously reflecting Him for our kids.

I work with families and parents who are stuck in the midst of pain and struggle.  I love to help parents and kids find new ways to interact and reach a place of joy again. Two parent families, single parent families and step families are all welcome if you’re looking for ways to thrive.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Michigan, received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Grand Valley State University and my Master of Arts in Counseling at Spring Arbor University. I have been working with kids since 2001 and have worked in both hospital settings and outpatient practice.
