Establishing a strong working relationship is essential to positive therapeutic outcomes. I firmly believe that therapy works best when you match well on a personal level. Adjusting to college is hard. There's a lot of pressure to do well academically, socially, personally...and it can be helpful to have an unbiased person to vent to and talk about what you're struggling with. I specialize in treating individuals struggling with primary and secondary trauma. I use a multifaceted approach to therapy to meet my clients where they are and to suit their individual needs, whether trauma is a main focus or not.

Hi! I'm Beth (she/her), an OCD and anxiety specialist. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in cycles of intrusive thoughts, self-doubt, reassurance-seeking, overthinking, and anxiety that seems to demand certainty before they can move forward. Using evidence-based approaches including ERP, I-CBT, and ACT, I help clients learn new ways of responding to fear and uncertainty so they can spend less time battling their thoughts and more time engaging in what matters most. ​ I provide in-person therapy in Grand Haven, including traditional office sessions and walk & talk therapy, as well as virtual therapy throughout Michigan.

Life presents challenges to everyone, regardless of their circumstances. You often have no control of the challenges that come your way. Your only control is your response, which creates your experience. As a solutions-focused therapist, I collaborate with you to understand the power of your thoughts, and remind you that you have it within yourself to take back control of your emotional health. You are your own expert, and you have an inner vision of what you want to see happen in your life. I will strive to help you develop coping skills, awaken your resiliency and help you to change the long-standing negative perceptions and behavior patterns that prevent you from achieving your inner vision and enjoying your life.

Hi! I am an EMDR-Certified and AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist with a specialization in working with college students (both "traditional" and "non-traditional"). I deeply enjoy getting to work with folks who are looking to address challenges they might be experiencing in their relationships: their relationships to partners, friends, family members, and importantly, to themselves. Many life experiences may lead us to feel in disconnection with ourselves: whether you have experienced relational or institutional trauma, are navigating multiple life transitions (e.g. beginning a new degree, receiving a new medical diagnosis), or are exploring social, sexual or gender identity, I am here to help you reconnect with yourself and take steps forward in your healing journey.

"Going away to college" can be a wonderful and terrifying experience all at the same time: learning how to manage the many details of daily life while figuring out the big picture of who you are and what you want to do. It can also be a time of sorting out family relationships and choosing new paths. It can bring up a lot of anxiety, stress and self-doubt. We have many combined years of helping people through these experiences. If you would like intelligent, warm and useful support in navigating your thoughts and emotions, please give us a call.

I specialize in working with students in college, educators, people in helping professionals, and young parents. My clients desire someone who can support them in their goals, who listens well, and sees them through a holistic perspective. My clients understand that healing is a process and desire to live a wholehearted life but often feel stuck or find them repeating patterns they can't break. Often people that contact me are in need of support, skills, and a space to navigate the stress and unexpected things that inevitably come in life and partnership. I have been a school social worker for many years, so I bring my experience to help you navigate your life and professional transitions. I approach clients with a person-centered, strength-based, holistic approach. I can help facilitate communication with your partner and help you increase your insight and understanding of yourself. I offer a non-judgmental space with the goal of empowering my clients to guide themselves to health and wholeness. When you are ready and willing, I would be honored to walk this part of your life with you. You can contact me through my website (theflourshingco.org/contact-us) or give my office a call.

Life can feel overwhelming—whether you're a parent, new mom, educator, or simply going through a tough season. You might be facing anxiety, postpartum struggles, burnout, infertility, or challenges with your child’s school experience, like IEPs or behavioral concerns. I work with teens, adults, and families navigating stress, parenting, transitions, or the complexities of adoption. Therapy can be a space to reflect, heal, and reconnect with yourself. You don’t have to have it all figured out—just be willing to start. You’ll find a safe, supportive space to feel validated and build skills like emotional regulation, coping, and communication. I use a compassionate, strengths-based, and trauma-informed approach, drawing on CBT and my 27 years of experience supporting teens and families. I will meet with you right where you are at and help you grow and heal from there. I really care about people and the stories they carry. Life can be messy, and therapy gives you space to talk it through, feel heard, and sort things out. We'll work together in a way that feels supportive and real—so you can better understand yourself, feel more like you, and start to move forward.
