Michelle is passionate about empowering individuals to grow more into their authentic selves as they navigate the ups and downs of life. She realizes that life can be messy and filled with challenges and difficulties. This can make it hard to know how to move forward in a positive direction. Whether you're struggling with depression or anxiety, feeling stuck in the stage of life you are in, experiencing relationship difficulties, or are just in need of a listening ear, Michelle is ready and willing to walk alongside you each step of the way. 

It takes courage and strength to be willing to step into the counseling space and be vulnerable. Michelle recognizes this, and is empathetic through the entire process. She also provides an objective perspective as you process thoughts and feelings, consider things from a new perspective, learn more about who you are and make positive changes for everyday life. 

Michelle enjoys a variety of activities outside the counseling office as well. She is creative and enjoys painting and artistic projects, as well as spending time in nature, walking her dog, baking and watching Food Network competitions. Michelle has been married to Kyle since 2017, and they enjoy spending time adventuring together around Grand Rapids, renovating their home or catching the sunset at the beach when the weather allows.
