Behind the Scenes of Life Edit Therapy
The Origins of Life Edit Therapy
Life Edit Therapy was created from my desire to build a practice that truly reflects my personal and professional values. The result? A refreshing departure from the typical big-box clinical approach, leading to a more authentic and personalized experience for each individual or couple.
Because I’ve crafted my practice with care and intention, I’m able to be more relaxed, rested, and fully present in every session. I genuinely love the practice I’ve built, the wonderful people who invite me into their stories, and the beauty that unfolds through our work together.
About Me
My story begins in rural West Michigan, a place where small-town charm meets a big lake and stunning country skies. Like many, I hold amazing childhood memories alongside significant pain and loss. Yet, through it all, I learned to keep moving forward, holding onto the hope that healing would come.
After completing my undergraduate degree and starting my career in social work, I met Jay. We fell in love and married in 1990. His journey as a boatswain mate in the U.S. Coast Guard took us from the East Coast to the West Coast, where we had the joy of raising two wonderful sons who have truly enriched our lives and helped us grow into better versions of ourselves.
Even with the many gifts in my life, the pain didn’t fade away. It was only through the love and guidance of therapists and mentors that I discovered a better path.
After 23 years of service, Jay retired from active duty, and we happily settled back in the beautiful Mitten state, where we’ve lived for the past 15 years. Just like you, we continue to write and edit our own story.
