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.

The heart of my practice is a belief that when we understand what makes us who we are, we are able to open the door to real and lasting change.
My bread and butter is working with clients who are in a time of transition. I love being able to utilize skills such as problem solving, creativity and a passion for learning to work in partnership with clients facing life challenges. My clients tend to be young adults and professionals looking for direction and a desire to gain deeper insight. Specifically I work with individuals with ADHD, mood disorders, and chronic illness. I received my Masters of Arts in Counseling from University of Detroit Mercy and am a Licensed Professional Counselor.
My methods are flexible allowing space to explore and giving clients autonomy over their therapeutic journey. I utilize techniques such as CBT, DBT, Somatic and Expressive therapies in order to attain a more balanced and meaningful existence. My goal is to work myself out of a job by giving my clients the tools to feel confident in managing life stressors.
Life is messy and hard. Whatever you're carrying, you deserve a space to set it down and figure out your next step. When you're ready, I'm here and ready to face it together.

Panic attack disorder therapy is a specialized therapeutic approach designed to help individuals suffering from recurrent and debilitating panic attacks. During therapy sessions, individuals work closely with trained Thriveworks Grand Rapids therapists to identify and understand the triggers and thought patterns that contribute to their panic attacks. Through panic attack disorder therapy, individuals learn to manage their anxiety, develop coping strategies, and regain control over their lives, ultimately leading to a reduction in the severity of panic attacks.
Panic attack disorder therapy often utilizes cognitive-behavioral techniques like exposure therapy and relaxation exercises to help individuals manage and mitigate panic attacks. These methods involve desensitizing triggers, reducing physical and emotional symptoms, and challenging irrational thought patterns to empower individuals to recognize, control, and reduce the frequency and intensity of panic attacks.
Panic attack disorder therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and through Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Panic attack disorder therapy may last for a variable amount of time, depending on the individual’s unique needs.
Do you experience panic attacks? If so, consider reaching out to Thriveworks Grand Rapids to schedule a panic attack disorder therapy appointment. Our counselors are compassionate and here to help.
Panic attacks, commonly short lasting (no longer than 10 to 15 minutes, on average) usually proceed along the following lines:
1) A person believes that something terrible is going to happen to him/her 2) The autonomic nervous system activates, and the person begins to experience various physiological symptoms:
3) The person experiences various psychological symptoms:
This re-triggers the initial phase (the person concludes once again that he/she is in danger) and a vicious cycle is created.
According to the DSM-5, the diagnosis of a panic disorder is made if someone experiences recurrent panic attacks, accompanied by persistent worrying about their consequences, and general concerns regarding their mental wellbeing or fears of further attacks and/or behavioral changes, as a result.
Panic attacks are often accompanied by psychomotor agitation or avoidance behavior (avoidance of specific situations or activities where a panic attack could occur) or even isolation from the other people. This can lead to further difficulties in interpersonal relations or job-related problems.
Sufferers are usually preoccupied with their attacks, which causes intense worry and anxiety, which can lead to sleeping or eating disorders.
If you have experienced some of the symptoms listed above, you should consider finding professional help in counseling for panic attacks or panic disorder therapy. Qualified counselors and therapists at Thriveworks Grand Rapids can help you to understand what panic attacks and panic disorder are, and how, why, and when they occur. This can help you to perceive threatening situations from a different perspective. They can also teach you how to relax and ease the symptoms and, finally, in the long run, to reduce the number of panic attacks.
