Education: MA Clinical Mental Health Counseling – Cornerstone University

Professional experience: 
I enjoy working with children and families with diverse backgrounds. In therapy, I utilize an individualized approach that incorporates each client’s interests and strengths. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked as a behavior technician for several years. Working in this role provided me with experience addressing behavioral challenges and building relationships with children of various ages and abilities. My goal is to help clients move toward independence, overcome challenges, and achieve their goals. 

Personal Blurb:
I grew up in West Michigan and completed my undergraduate degree at Hope College. I married my husband in 2019 and we have a Jack Russell Terrier. I enjoy camping, completing Lego sets, reading, and exploring new restaurants in my free time. 

Specializations:
I most frequently work with children between 8 and 14 with the following issues: anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, and emotion regulation.
