Hi there! I’m Heather, a limited licensed psychologist, counselor, and founder of Radiant Life Counseling Center serving the metro Detroit and Downriver areas. While not a native “Michigander”, I have come to love the beauty and culture of Michigan in many ways (cider and donuts, anyone?). Originally from Kansas, I received my Bachelor's degree in Missouri and Master's degree in Arizona. Most recently I completed my second Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Moody Theological Seminary, with a specialty in trauma-informed therapy and Christian integration. I'm a genuine people person with a disposition (indeed, a calling) to help others, with a strong commitment to bringing the best care possible.
My mission when opening Radiant Life Counseling originated from a desire to bring life-transforming, holistic care to a community that is typically underserved and to places that more readily reflect darkness than they do light. I believe that under these circumstances is where new life is most possible and where people are most ready to rise up and seek change. I employ an integrative approach of evidence-based treatments that meet the needs of my clients, with a specialty option for Christian-integrated therapy: I want all my clients to know that change is possible for them, no matter what they've done or experienced, or from where they originate. This is especially true of my story: Despite the obstacles, God has always helped me overcome.
