College is a time of growth and self-discovery—but it can also bring unique challenges. Balancing classes, relationships, and big questions about who you want to become is already a lot. Adding the stress of chronic illness or health symptoms can make it feel even heavier. At Evergreen Solutions, therapy offers a supportive space to explore your identity, manage the emotional impact of health challenges, and build skills for balance and confidence. This is your time to grow into yourself, and you don’t have to do it alone.
My approach begins with the understanding that connecting with one’s self and others is a pathway toward finding meaning and fulfillment. This pathway of connecting can become blocked by old emotional wounds or current relationship struggles. The partnership formed in the therapy relationship becomes the platform where healing broken connections may occur. This approach can help bring about lasting change by getting at the ‘root’ of the problem and bring relief from symptoms. Central to Chris’ approach is a concern for the role that faith and belief play in the life of the patient. My practice is shaped by his time training at Northwestern University, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, and the Center for Religion and Psychotherapy of Chicago. My approach to working to help people change comes primarily from a model for psychotherapy where tending to feelings, symptoms, and patterns of relating becomes an important part of the healing process. In our first conversation, you can expect to briefly discuss your concerns as well as set up an initial meeting. The first meeting is where your concerns and history are better understood in order to offer specific recommendations and feedback.
We are a group practice made up of social workers, counselors and a psychologist. Each provider brings a set of unique skills and specialties to the group including feeding and eating concerns, body image issues, grief and loss and relationship concerns.

The choice to seek therapy demonstrates an openness to growth and commitment to well-being. I provide a safe and non-judgmental environment in which I understand that each of us has a unique set of strengths and challenges that shape who we are and how we experience relationships. In my collaborative work with individuals, couples, young children, and families, we focus on developing insight and establishing new strategies to overcome difficult patterns or concerns.
We are a group of therapists comprised of Psychologists, Licensed Professional Counselors and Clinical Social Workers. Our mission is to provide prompt, compassionate, confidential and effective therapy to students suffering from stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. It can be stressful to find a good therapist, even when you know it's the best thing to do. We try to make it as easy as possible. You can request an appointment on our website. Or if you prefer, our scheduling staff is available to personally answer the phone Monday – Friday during normal business hours. If you happen to call outside of that time frame, you will be prompted to leave a message and someone will get back to you on the next business day. It’s really that easy. We’re here when you need us.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to reach their fullest potential, and at times, we all need a bit of support to get there. I am here to provide that support, tailored to meet your individual needs. Therapy can be a transformative process, offering a wide range of possibilities for growth and healing. I believe that every person is unique, and as such, therapy should never be a "one size fits all" approach. Whether you are new to therapy and seeking to manage daily stresses, looking to foster personal growth, or in need of healing, we will work collaboratively to ensure that therapy is right for you. I take great pride in offering a safe space and a compassionate ear to those open to enlightenment and change. I believe that everyone possesses the inner strength to grow, though sometimes these strengths may be hidden. Through a person-centered and compassionate lens, we will work together to uncover your strengths and cultivate self-compassion to help you achieve your goals. In addition to traditional therapy, I also offer Art Therapy as an alternative form of expression, providing comfort and a unique way to explore your inner self. If you are ready to embark on a journey of personal growth or are simply curious about where to begin, I would be honored to accompany you. Change is not always easy, but when you are ready, you will find a safe space here and a committed partner ready to support you on your path toward healing and growth.

If you are curious, hesitant, or intimidated about seeking therapy, I am here to help. I create a nonjudgemental, safe and confidential space where you can freely express yourself without fear, judgment or criticism. This space is dedicated solely to your well-being, where you can explore your emotions, build your self-esteem and cultivate self-compassion. If you value a creative and holistic approach to therapy, we may integrate art or other expressive techniques like mindfulness. I am passionate about trauma and women's issues. My training and experience allows me to navigate the complex needs of survivors of all ages, including young survivors. One area of particular interest to me is the mind-body-spirit approach. These therapies focus on the body's wisdom in healing trauma and provide a holistic approach to recovery. As part of Wellspring Therapeutic Partners, I regularly consult with our team of therapists, prescribers, and psychologists who specialize in a variety of areas. I can provide seamless referrals for medication management or testing, though we always welcome and encourage you to keep working with your outside provider if helpful.

As parents, we can feel overwhelmed by the task of raising successful, happy children and life these days sure doesn't make it any easier. My goal as a therapist is to provide kids and families with tools to not only heal, but to thrive. In 2013, I graduated from Michigan State University with a Masters in Social Work. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and have developed a deep passion for providing evidence-based treatment to children and families who have experienced trauma. I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation/self-harm, and trauma. I incorporate trauma informed interventions with cognitive behavioral, family, and humanistic techniques. Each child is different, and each family they are a part of is unique as well- I make every effort to tailor your therapy to you and your family's needs.
With the many transitions that life brings can come many challenges. It can be difficult to navigate these challenges alone and reaching out for support is a significant step in working towards healing. My goal is to help you navigate your healing journey using compassion, empathy, creativity, and humor. I have worked in a variety of settings including the department of corrections, psychiatric inpatient hospitals, and in an after school setting. Throughout experience I have worked with many different clients including individuals experiencing challenges related to depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, grief, work stress, career transitions, spirituality, and family life. I approach my work with the mindset that the client is the expert in their treatment. In my work I utilize Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Mindfulness Based Interventions. I aim to provide a welcoming, supportive, inclusive, and judgement free space for you to process any struggles and work towards your goals. I recognize that each person’s path to healing is unique and during our time together we will discover which approach is ideal for you. Life can bring on so much heartache and struggles that can make us feel lost. Through self-exploration we can work towards transforming into a more healed self.
