An experienced, passionate therapist who specializes in the unconscious and getting to the root of your concerns to create changes that last a lifetime

About Me

I am an experienced therapist passionate about helping you understand yourself. We can explore unconscious patterns together, getting to the root of your concerns. This deep approach helps you uncover insights for lasting change, moving beyond surface-level fixes. If you seek profound self-discovery and sustainable well-being, I offer a supportive space.

Approach

Sessions move between gentle curiosity and focused exploration of what’s beneath your reactions, paced to your rhythm and goals. In Grand Rapids or via secure online meetings in English, I mix reflective dialogue with hands-on, play-based moments for younger clients and practical check-ins between sessions so insights translate into everyday change. You’ll be invited to notice patterns, try small experiments, and revisit what shifts — all within a calm, steady frame. This approach often fits people seeking deeper, sustainable understanding and better relationships.
