For five years, I have tended to hundreds of stories with my “fellow travelers” (Irvin Yalom’s
loving phrase for the therapist and client relationship) in this office. In the middle of Covid, I joined Alliance Counseling Group, launching into a second career as a therapist. The
leadership, staff, and my fellow therapists were significant in enriching my work.
And now I’m entering into the next phase of my vocation, establishing a solo practice. Starting
June 1st, I will continue my work of guiding others towards healing and wholeness at a new
location: 967 Spaulding Ave SE, Ada MI 49301. This new space also marks exciting additions
to my work:
• 𝗮𝗱𝗷𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆
• 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳
• 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆.
As I cleaned out my office at Alliance, I sat one last time in my chair, marveling at the sacred
moments that existed in those four walls. I continue to feel humbled and honored that so many have entrusted me with their sorrows, wounds, and hopes. What a gift that I get to continue to bear withness with my “fellow travelers”
