How I Help with Anxiety
Unresolved anxiety experiences typically stem from an over-focus on symptom management and an under-focus on cognitive, emotional, and behavioral skill development.
I deliver an advanced CBT anxiety treatment program that empowers clients to skillfully and confidently respond to distressing anxiety experiences rather than endlessly chasing anxiety symptom relief.

My Story of Becoming an Anxiety Specialist
As a young adult, I struggled significantly with social anxiety disorder and panic disorder. During my master's program in Counseling Psychology at Western Michigan University, I was drawn to advanced cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques for anxiety, as I personally experienced their benefits in managing my own daily anxiety. It was at this point that I realized I wanted to focus on treating anxiety disorders as a therapist.
In 2015, after earning my master's degree in Counseling Psychology, I founded The Anxiety Treatment Center of West Michigan in Kalamazoo, MI—West Michigan's first practice dedicated specifically to anxiety treatment and research.
To advance my knowledge as an anxiety specialist, I then went on to pursue my Ph.D. in counselor education and supervision, where I gained advanced skills in anxiety treatment and conducted studies on anxiety topics of interest.
Since 2015, I have had the pleasure of helping people from all walks of life overcome debilitating anxiety issues. I am recognized as a leading anxiety specialist in Michigan; however, more importantly, I am proud to serve West Michigan as an expert in anxiety treatment.
