"Every good therapist needs a good therapist" That is why I recognize above and beyond the importance to break stigmas that may prevent mental and medical providers and first responder from seeking treatment of their own. And while supervision is offered in these fields, it is also important to recognize mental health goes beyond the work we do and can impact our personal lives. We are only human too.

As a clinician, I know it is important to walk beside you in the journey of life and healing. My work with clients is through compassion, humor, gentle confrontation, and unconditional positive regard. Whether you have a specific issue or just don't quite feel like yourself reaching out to someone is a great first step. I work with children, adolescents, using psychoanalysis and cognitive behavioral therapy to not only treat symptoms but also to understand yourself through your experiences. I am here to help guide you on your journey to healing and reignite the vital fire in order to live a full life we all strive for. I am passionate about helping you connect to yourself, others, and the world. By gaining a sense of steadiness in the mind you will navigate your life with more clarity, control, and confidence. I practice on an individualized level and cater to your needs by providing clients a safe space to explore themselves and each experience they've encountered in sessions. My ultimate goal as your therapist is to empower you to feel more at peace with the ebbs and flows of life.

Reaching out for support can be overwhelming, so let's take this next step together. We all have times in our lives when things are too heavy to navigate alone. I am passionate about working with people experiencing challenges with anxiety and OCD. My goal for all clients is to give them the control back to live fulfilling lives instead of living out of fear, or according to OCD's rules. I also specialize in grief and feel honored to support clients in learning how to carry what can't be fixed. I'm a firm believer that just as we care for our physical health, our mental health deserves the same attention and understanding. I work with children, teens, and adults using evidence-based approaches for anxiety, OCD, grief, and trauma. I take a human-centered approach, honoring the identities that shape who you are and the systems you navigate, creating a space for healing and meaningful change. My primary goal as a therapist is to create a safe environment, rooted in curiosity, for clients to feel empowered and know they are not alone. With my office based in Grand Rapids, I offer in-person and virtual sessions for people in the state of Michigan. If you feel like we would be a good fit, I would love to chat.

In my practice, I take a client centered approach, drawing from multiple therapeutic modalities to meet the specific needs of each individual client. My undergraduate degree in psychology and my professional experience in the school setting has given me a strong foundation in understanding human behavior and supporting individuals through various life stages. I integrate holistic practices to address the whole person - mind, body, and spirit - while creating a warm and supportive environment through empathy and compassion. My goal is to challenge clients to take the next step toward healing and growth while also ensuring that they feel heard and empowered.

My practice experience is grounded in a relationship based processing style. I work to highlight an individuals strengths and create a safe and comfortable space for clients to process a variety of issues related to grief, loss, depression, anxiety, trauma and family or relationship conflict. I have medical social work experience with a background working in areas of skilled nursing and hospice. My experience working with grief and loss from an individual level and the impact this has on family dynamics and relationships. Prior to this experience I worked as a crisis counselor/rapid response coordinator at a nonprofit during the flint water crisis. I utilize an eclectic approach from a wide range of modalities such as Gottman, Emotion Focused, CBT, mindfulness, ACT and Internal Family Systems. I take a growth-oriented and client-centered approach to explore all aspects of a client’s journey.

Maggie is a Licensed Professional Counselor who is passionate about providing a counseling experience that goes beyond worksheets to create space to start exploring your deeper feelings and experiences. Her areas of focus include women’s mental health, trauma, chronic suicidality, and providing support when life just feels hard. Maggie specializes in exploring how feelings of shame can impact our daily experiences and influence how we view and relate to ourselves and others. Shame, the insidious feeling of “I feel bad because I am bad” or “something went wrong and I’m to blame”, is often based out of trauma and pain. Maggie works to bring awareness to how it might be impacting you and your mental health symptoms, how to challenge it, and how to grow beyond always feeling like you did something wrong. Maggie often brings humor and moments of lightheartedness to the therapeutic process to create an environment where you feel seen, supported, and able to sustain the hard work. You are more than just your pain and past experiences. In therapy, you should have space to express all aspects of who you are.

Growing up comes with challenges, but no one has to face them alone. I specialize in helping children and teens navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem struggles, and relationship challenges. Whether dealing with school stress, social pressures, or identity exploration, I provide a safe and supportive space to navigate adolescence. I understand the pressures that come with growing up and strive to create an environment that is collaborative and strengths-based, ensuring that every client feels seen, heard, and empowered on their journey toward healing and personal growth. With an approach rooted in warmth and authenticity, I tailor therapy to meet each child and teen’s unique needs. Using evidence-based techniques, I help young individuals, ages 5-18 years old develop healthy coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and foster self-awareness. My goal is to empower them with the tools to manage stress, navigate relationships, and heal from past experiences. In-school virtual appointments are done with parent and school permission

I believe every person has a unique story that deserves to be understood. My role as a therapist is to provide a supportive environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves and exploring life's challenges. I value building genuine therapeutic relationships because trust creates that foundation for meaningful growth. I take an integrative approach to therapy by tailoring each session to the individual and their needs rather than relying on one therapeutic model. My work is informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), play based interventions, grief informed care, and trauma informed practices. Therapy is an opportunity to better understand ourselves. When we approach our thoughts, emotions, behavior, and experiences with curiosity instead of judgment, it is easier to recognize patterns and make intentional choices for our lives. My goal is to help clients make sense of their experiences and teach practical skills that can be used after therapy ends. I work with clients of all ages. My clinical focus includes anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, grief, life transitions, stress, and behavioral concerns. I have a particular passion for working with children and their families. With younger clients, I incorporate play, creative activities, and evidence-based interventions like the Zones of Regulation to make learning about emotions engaging and fun. I don't believe clients need to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. Sometimes the first step is becoming curious. It is a privilege to work with clients as they gain a better understanding of themselves and build confidence in navigating life's many challenges.
