About
As someone who values being understood, I hope to provide an opportunity for self-reflection and personal growth.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and other mental health concerns. I value individualized treatment and strive to create a supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered in their healing journey.
I earned my Master of Science in nursing from Drexel University. My approach is person-centered and trauma-informed, and I collaborate closely with clients to develop thoughtful treatment plans that align with their goals and lived experiences.
If you are feeling overwhelmed or seeking support, recovery and wellness are possible. I am here to partner with you in building coping skills, improving symptom management, and creating meaningful, lasting change. I encourage you to schedule an appointment to explore your treatment options.

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.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Internet addiction counseling is a specialized therapeutic approach designed to address and alleviate problematic or compulsive internet usage. It offers individuals a structured and supportive setting to delve into the root causes of their excessive online behaviors, which may encompass activities like social media and gaming.
Internet addiction therapists at Thriveworks in Grand Rapids Charter Township, MI collaborate with you to identify and alter thought patterns and behaviors that drive your dependence, often employing cognitive behavioral techniques. The primary objective of this counseling is to assist you in regaining control over your internet use, establishing healthier online habits, and addressing any underlying emotional or psychological issues, ultimately fostering a more balanced relationship with the digital world and enhancing overall well-being.
Thriveworks internet addiction counseling in Grand Rapids Charter Township is conducted both in person and virtually through online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of internet addiction counseling can differ depending on the person’s particular requirements and the seriousness of their addiction. Typically, this form of counseling includes multiple sessions spanning from several weeks to several months. The precise number of sessions and overall therapy duration are determined through discussions with the counselor.
Thriveworks Grand Rapids provides therapy for Internet addiction, and we have worked with a number of clients who have struggled to control the amount of time they are online or what they do when they are online. Many of the treatment options that are available for behavioral addictions (like gambling or shopping) are also effective for Internet addiction.
Today, almost anyone can be online whenever and wherever they want to be. Smartphones are always in the hand; laptops and tablets can travel anywhere; data is often unlimited. However, long before the Internet was so accessible, mental health professionals were expressing their concern. Some people can handle that access easily. Others have trouble with so much Internet access. In the mid-1990s, Dr. Ivan Goldberg proposed the thought that someone could become addicted to being online, and that thought was received with as a joke. However, within a few years, many realized this was no laughing matter. By the late 1990s, diagnostics and subcategories of Internet addiction had been developed by Dr. Kimberly S. Young.
When an individual displays a minimum of five of the following symptoms, they may be addicted to the Internet:
Internet addiction can come in many different forms. A few include:
