Education:
Central Michigan University, Bachelors Degree in Social work- 2010; Grand Valley State University, Masters Degree in Social Work- 2012

Professional Experience:
I have been providing outpatient mental health services at DE since April 2015. These services include individual therapy, parent consultation, and group therapy (Social Skills). 

I have a passion for positively impacting the lives of others and it is very rewarding to come alongside a child as they work to reach their full potential. I believe in treatment focusing on the “Whole Child,” which includes consideration of the physical, behavioral, social, and emotional domains. 

I strive to provide my clients with a safe space to share their story, play, heal, ask questions, problem solve, and explore emotions. I work with parents to help parents better understand, relate, and support their child. 

Personal Blurb:
In my free time you can find me spending quality time with my wife, daughter, family, friends, and Fur Baby (Bella). I am a huge fan of basketball and football (College and NFL). Summer and Fall are my favorite seasons, as I enjoy soaking in the Vitamin D, spending time in nature, and going camping. 

Specializations: I most frequently work with children (ages 5 and up), teenagers, and their parent/guardians. I have received continuing education on a variety of topics including but not limited to: Autism, Anxiety, ADHD, Emotional Regulation, Sleep, and Technology Use.
