“At the heart of my work as a therapist are two guiding convictions. I seek to embody and share the love and compassion of God through the practice of psychotherapy by creating a therapeutic space where clients feel understood and cared for. I also feel called to walk with others through their suffering, using the tools of psychotherapy to reduce pain and facilitate lasting growth.”
Clients working with Anthony can expect a warm, supportive environment grounded in evidence-based practices and focused on meaningful behavior change. His therapeutic approach balances empathy with direction, offering both emotional support and structured guidance in accordance with established therapy models. Sessions are tailored to the client’s needs in the moment, allowing for a flexible and adaptive process. As appropriate, clients may be given homework or practice assignments between sessions to reinforce therapeutic goals and promote growth outside the therapy room.
Anthony primarily utilizes cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to support clients in managing their emotions and aligning their actions with their core values. These approaches emphasize psychological flexibility, emotional regulation and intentional living. His therapeutic goal is to help clients clarify what matters most to them and equip them with the skills necessary to live in a way that is authentic and congruent with who they are at their core.
Anthony is a licensed psychologist practicing at the Pine Rest Caledonia Clinic. He earned a Bachelor of Science from Grand Valley State University, a Master of Science in Clinical Behavioral Psychology from Eastern Michigan University, and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Wheaton College.
Anthony participates with Faith Community Outreach, an initiative within Pine Rest that seeks to connect area clergy, churches and ministries to services available from Pine Rest and to develop new services specifically designed to benefit communities of faith.
