About
I am laid-back, love making people smile, and prefer to meet people where they are, rather than where a provider thinks they should be. This is core to my beliefs, not only as a practitioner, but as a person. Everyone should be treated with basic human dignity.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 3 years of experience supporting individuals across the lifespan. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, stress-related concerns, and life transitions. I work with clients from all walks of life and strive to create a welcoming, collaborative environment where you feel heard and respected as a whole person—not just a diagnosis.
I earned my Master of Science in nursing from the University of Michigan. My background includes psychiatric assessment, medication management, and evidence-based treatment planning. I take a patient-centered approach, emphasizing collaboration, education, and thoughtful care tailored to your unique goals.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed or unsure about seeking care, I want you to know you’re not alone. I am committed to providing compassionate, inclusive support and helping you gain clarity and confidence in managing your mental health. I invite you to schedule a session and take the next step forward.

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.
Over the past 5 years of I have loved being able to utilize skills such as problem solving, creativity and a passion for learning to work alongside my clients facing life challenges. My clients tend to be young adults, students and professionals looking for direction and a desire to gain deeper insight. I specialize in treating women’s issues, ADHD, mood disorders and chronic health. I received my MA in Counseling from University of Detroit Mercy and am a Licensed Professional Counselor.
My methods are flexible giving space to explore and have autonomy over their therapeutic journey.

As a person who has dealt with frustrating circumstances and the feeling of being overwhelmed by many of life's obstacles I understand the challenge of getting through those moments with your sanity and life values intact.
My name is Joseph and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's of Arts degree in Community Counseling. I have several years of experience working with diverse populations within the mental health care setting. I work with clients who are experiencing overwhelming stress and frustration with specific life stressors within their environments and who are seeking a change in the way they interact with that environment.
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy along with other evidence-based therapeutic techniques to assist clients with practical skills they can apply to challenging life circumstances.
I understand how overwhelming life can be with multiple factors influencing your life, and the need to address concerns in a way that promotes your overall well-being. I would appreciate exploring these concerns with you and finding ways to successfully manage them while also nurturing and enjoying the important aspects of your life.

Dependent personality disorder therapy from our therapists in Grand Rapids, MI helps clients establish their individuality and self-reliance, as those with dependent personality disorder harshly criticize themselves and underestimate their abilities.
Dependent personality disorder therapy often involves exploration into one’s past — specifically, events or relationships that may have led to the development of their dependent personality disorder. These experiences and their subsequent behaviors are discussed to help one develop healthier behaviors moving forward.
Dependent personality disorder therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Dependent personality disorder with a provider at Thriveworks in Grand Rapids, MI is a short-term therapy, as long-form treatment can lead to the development of a dependence on one’s therapist.
The mental health professionals at Thriveworks Grand Rapids have experience working with clients who struggle with dependency and may have dependent personality disorder. We know the resources that are available for healing, and we want our clients to live their own, unique, independent lives.
Three significant symptoms of Dependent Personality Disorder (301.6[F70.7]) are:
At least five of the following signs will also be present:
These symptoms cause a number of troubles in people’s personal and professional lives. Because people with the disorder rarely take initiative and often lack confidence, they often have trouble securing and staying in a job. The disorder raises people’s risk of other mental health problems like anxiety, adjustment, personality, and depression disorders. They often have small social circles, limiting their social interactions to their family.
