Together we will slow down and look at what's really going on, whether that's a pattern between you and your partner or a weight you've been carrying alone. We'll name what matters most to you, build practical tools you can use between sessions, and move at a pace that feels right. Faith can be part of our work if that's important to you.

I hope clients would describe me as calm, warm, and easy to talk to, someone who listens closely before offering ideas. I try to be direct without being harsh, curious without judging, and steady when things feel heavy. I want each person, and each partner, to feel heard and treated with respect.

In our first session, we'll talk about what brought you in, what you're hoping will change, and what feels most pressing. For couples, I'll want to hear from each of you. I'll explain how I work and answer your questions. There's no pressure to share everything at once. We'll start where you are and decide together on next steps.

Before becoming a counselor, I spent years mentoring, teaching, and developing leaders in ministry, higher education, and multicultural settings. Again and again, the most meaningful moments were sitting with people through hard seasons. Counseling let me do that work more deeply, with the training to help people actually move forward.

I practice at Parkview Counseling in Wyoming, MI, in a quiet office overlooking Palmer Park. I offer evening appointments, in person or by telehealth anywhere in Michigan, and counsel in English and Spanish. I practice under the supervision of Richard Maier, MA, LPC.
