“Mental health care is a passion of mine, and I believe it is just as important as physical health. Mental wellness is an ongoing journey that requires personal commitment and a strong support network of family, friends and a collaborative treatment team. My goal is to meet clients where they are in their mental health journey and support them through any difficult life circumstances they may be facing. I am dedicated to creating a compassionate, supportive environment for both clients and their families in the Grand Rapids community.”
