Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern in Grand Rapids, MI
Supervised by Adam DeVaney

About My Clients

I work with individuals on the autism spectrum and those with intellectual and developmental disabilities, offering support that respects their unique perspectives and needs. I'm especially passionate about connecting with nerdy folks—gamers, fans, creatives, and deep thinkers—who want a therapist who truly gets them. Whether you're navigating relationships, identity, or just life’s challenges, I provide a space where your quirks and passions are not just accepted, but celebrated.

My Background and Approach

I have a strong background in supporting individuals through mindfulness-based approaches, helping clients develop greater awareness, emotional understanding, and the ability to process difficult experiences. I teach practical coping strategies tailored to each person's needs, whether you're managing anxiety, frustration, or sensory overwhelm. I also focus on improving social skills and enhancing the ability to complete everyday life tasks, fostering independence and confidence. My experience includes working with individuals on the autism spectrum and with intellectual and developmental disabilities in both therapeutic and educational settings. I’m passionate about creating a supportive space where clients can grow in self-awareness, build meaningful connections, and gain the tools they need to thrive. Whether you're looking to improve your relationships, manage emotions, or gain clarity and confidence in your daily life, I'm here to support your journey.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe therapy should be a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel truly seen and heard. My approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and deep respect for each person's lived experience. I’m strongly committed to racial, social, and economic justice, and I strive to create an inclusive space that honors the identities and challenges of each client. As someone who identifies as part of the LGBTQ+ community, I have a passionate interest in LGBTQ+ issues and take pride in supporting individuals across the spectrum of gender and sexual identities. I recognize the impact of systemic oppression and marginalization, and I aim to walk alongside my clients as they navigate those realities. Whether you’re exploring identity, seeking healing, or just need someone who understands, I am here to support you with compassion, openness, and care.
