Starting therapy can feel a little intimidating, and that’s totally okay. My goal is to make it feel easier by creating a warm, judgment-free space where you can show up as yourself. I try to bring my genuine self into sessions to create a comfortable, down-to-earth space—honest and direct, but always with care. I often work with those managing ADHD, anxiety, life transitions, depression, relationship stress and more. Sessions are available in person and online. If you’re thinking about starting therapy or just have questions, please feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to connect!

Have you wondered if therapy is the right choice for you? Are you someone who struggles with anxiety, adjusting to college, self-esteem issues, relationship problems, or just need support during a difficult time? My goal is to meet you where you are and help you move beyond any limiting beliefs and behaviors that have kept you from being the best version of yourself. Your issues cannot be solved on the same level of thinking in which they were created. I believe you are an expert of yourself and you will have opportunities to see yourself past your internal doubts, fears, worries, and insecurities, in a safe, confidential and judgement free space.

"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'm committed to helping my clients find all the things inside to help them live out their potential: heal from trauma, work through anxiety and depression, whatever it may be. I use the good, bad, and otherwise to help them become better.

I use an integrative approach where I am able to meet you where you are at with compassion, curiosity, and encouragement to evaluate and tailor evidence-based treatments to fit your needs. My desire is to partner with you in exploring your story and help you experience healing. I have enjoyed working with people from a variety of life stages from adolescence through late adulthood. I love working with those who are experiencing grief and loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship difficulties, planning for the future, and those who might just feel "stuck". In 2025, I received training in cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) from the Stanford Sleep Health and Insomnia Program. I consider it a privilege to sit with you as you share your life with me. My hope is that I can create a safe place for you to explore your depths and deepest parts while feeling supported and accepted. I would love to come alongside of you in the midst of your journey and witness your growth.

Is life a little overwhelming right now? You deserve to be heard in a non-judgmental environment regardless of your life journey and the issues that you're currently facing. Despite what challenge it is that you're experiencing, there is a road map to improving your life satisfaction. Counseling can provide a space for each individual to self-navigate current life situations. You'll also learn coping skills for when future stressors arise. I offer Christian counseling as an option for those interested but I love working with people from all walks of life. I'm a Limited License Professional Counselor in Michigan. I specialize in addictions, including alcohol and substance use. Besides a strong focus on client centered healing, I've received specific trainings in depression, anxiety, eating disorders and sport psychology. Seeking counseling is a huge first step that I applaud you for. I will provide a safe space for self-regulation and improvement. We can accomplish this together by designing a plan to help you reach your individual goals. My counseling style resonates well with adolescents and young adults, and I'm honored to hear each of my client's life stories

Hi and welcome! I'm so glad you are here. I approach therapy like a conversation: collaborative, with warmth, humor and honesty. I use an integrative approach that is unique to you and your needs. Together, we’ll identify the strengths already within you, explore how you relate to yourself and others, and gently challenge what no longer works for you anymore. Prior to becoming a therapist, I spent a decade working in international and US-based nonprofits, living abroad for a number of those years and engaging with people and cultures from all over the world. I also have worked within higher education in residential life and student life roles. All of these experiences were their own sort of education, helping me learn how to navigate the changes, surprises, and complexities of life. It would be my honor to sit with you as you navigate your own story.

Matthew serves as a companion to those who desire to experience healing, growth, and transformation in their pursuit of the full human experience. He works to offer a space of mutual, compassionate, and empathetic listening to the story your life is telling. Matthew believes that the opportunity to work with you is a sacred privilege, and is committed to discovering a shared process in therapy that honors who you are, your background, and your future path. Practicing therapy with Matthew may include focusing on developing tools and practices to help manage emotions and thoughts, support in healing from past experiences, assistance developing healthier behavioral patterns, and/or establishing new values. However, there is not one therapeutic approach that fits all, which is why he works closely with you to identify your own needs and goals. Matthew is experienced primarily in individual work with adolescents and adults from all backgrounds and genders, in areas related to depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, interpersonal conflict, identity exploration, finding belonging, discovering purpose, grief/loss, and religious and spiritual questions [and related trauma]. Matthew graduated with a Masters in Social Work from Grand Valley State University in 2024. He is also a graduate of Kuyper College [BS], Cornerstone Theological Seminary [MA], and the Living School for Action and Contemplation. His experience living internationally and attending two universities in multi-cultural and inter-religious environments has deeply shaped how he engages individuals from a diversity of circumstances and backgrounds. Matthew’s professional and academic emphasis on restorative justice practices, as well as the unique cognitive, developmental, and mental health needs of people of all ages has deepened his ability to foster effective therapeutic environments and meaningful relationships with clients. Matthew believes that our growth as people cannot be manufactured or controlled, and is therefore something we can only cooperate with and bear witness to. For many, the journey and practice of our work together becomes an outcome in itself. While Matthew is a generalist when it comes to theoretical orientation, he naturally integrates person-centered, narrative, existential, humanist, mindfulness, and acceptance and commitment approaches.
