Hi there! My name is Kimmie and I practice through Embrace Change Therapy. I believe you are the expert in your life, and I am to support you through whatever journey you may be on. There is so much that happens in life; it’s very easy to become overwhelmed. When we slow down and take it one step at a time, we are able to accomplish goals and establish new ways of thinking as well as develop a wide range of coping skills. I meet you where you are, and together we can move forward to achieve your goals! Therapy is not a one fits all, so I work from a combination of modalities, mostly CBT, strengths based, and motivational interviewing depending on clientele. I've worked with clients from a variety of backgrounds, and love to learn about each and every one as their own individual selves. My philosophy in life is that there is always room for learning and growth. I believe we both have things to offer in therapy, and can't wait to meet you! I accept most insurances, including Medicaids. Send me an email and we can verify this prior to working together. I graduated from GVSU with my Bachelor’s of Social Work and Master’s of Social work. I have two black labs, am married to my college sweetheart, and we have a toddler son who keeps us on our toes! In my free time, I love reading, taking our dogs for walks, and riding my horse, Atlas, in eventing and jumping. Feel free to shoot me an email to connect!
I am available to any and all who are in need of grief and trauma support services. I have been a school social worker for 11 years, and have extensive experience working with students to process individual trauma and grief.

Many mental health issues are related to a trauma response in the brain and body. Trauma is often conceptualized as one single event or experience that causes intense fear or distress. However, not all people who experience these kinds of events develop trauma symptoms, and many people who do experience trauma symptoms cannot identify a single event such as this. Another way to understand trauma symptoms is that they occur when an individual’s context overwhelms their nervous system’s ability to cope. This forces the nervous system to utilize strategies to try to bring the body back into balance. These strategies are usually useful or adaptive in the moment, but unhealthy and disruptive in the long run. The coping patterns can be related to addiction, disordered eating, the way we emotionally engage in relationships, or the chronic up-regulation (anxiety) or down-regulation (depression) of our nervous system. All are attempts to process the energy stored in the nervous system in response to stressors. Together we will utilize elements of mindfulness, somatic expression, Family Systems Theory, and Narrative therapy to develop new strategies to express emotion, regulate the nervous system, and communicate effectively with ourselves and with the people in our lives.
