So, let's not call it "needing" therapy. What if we just say, we're feeling overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, conflicted, or isolated? If you're feeling any of those things, I can help. I often start treatment the 1st or 2nd session. After 6-12 sessions clients usually feel significantly better. For Calvin students, I am a short walk from campus. For GRCC or GVSU, I am on the public transit loop, a walk through my parking lot to the bus stop. I'd be happy to meet with anyone over the phone ...

Together, we will have honest, sometimes uncomfortable but needed conversations. We will address barriers, examine boundaries, set goals, and work towards finding your voice. I have worked with in...
