About
I believe that healing begins with connection, and I bring deep compassion and insight to my work with individuals, couples, and families.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience supporting individuals through a wide range of life challenges. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and behavioral and emotional difficulties. My approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based practices that help clients clarify their goals and build meaningful change.
I earned my master’s degree in community counseling from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. My work integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, internal family systems, and other solution-focused, strengths-based approaches to help clients gain insight, develop effective coping strategies, and build confidence in their ability to grow.
I am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and empowered. Together, we will explore what you need to move toward balance, resilience, and lasting change. Reaching out for support is a powerful first step, and I would be honored to walk with you as you pursue a more fulfilling life.

Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy include:
Couples therapy works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular couples therapy sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
Relationships naturally experience ups and downs, but facing tough times can be incredibly stressful. If you and your partner are struggling with an issue, seeking help early can lead to more positive outcomes.
Connect with a couples counselor at Thriveworks Grand Rapids to start working toward resolution. Call our office at (616) 421-9387 to get started today.
Every relationship is unique, but many couples face similar issues. Do any of these sound familiar?
Even if your challenges are different, it’s natural to have disagreements. Our couples therapy provides a respectful, nurturing environment where you can discuss and resolve your differences.
Some couples think they don’t need counseling, especially if they’ve resolved issues on their own in the past or generally feel in love and strong in their relationship. However, some problems aren’t as easy to sort out and can leave one or both partners feeling stuck. Pursuing couples counseling in Grand Rapids can help address these issues before they affect the overall quality of your relationship.
Our experienced couples therapists in Grand Rapids are equipped to help with any relationship issues, whether they stem from minor miscommunications or more serious concerns. They can guide you in moving forward together in a positive way.
Many couples find that counseling prepares them to handle future challenges more effectively. Strengthen the bond you share with your loved one. Give us a call at (616) 421-9387 to schedule your appointment today.
