Behind the Scenes of Life Edit Therapy
The Origins of Life Edit Therapy
Life Edit Therapy was born out of a desire to create a practice that reflects what I deeply value both professionally and personally. The result? A huge step away from the conventional big-box clinical approach and one giant step toward a more authentic, personalized experience for each individual or couple.
Because my practice has been thoughtfully and intentionally crafted, I am better positioned to be more relaxed, rested, and invested in each session. I love the practice I’ve created, the people who welcome me into their stories, and the beauty that unfolds because of the work we do together.
About Me
Rural West Michigan is where my story begins. Small town, big lake, and brilliant country skies were the backdrop. Yet like many, I have amazing childhood memories that sit right next to significant pain and loss. But you keep moving, hoping that you’ll somehow heal and find your way through.
After completing my undergraduate degree and just as I was establishing a career in social work, I met Jay, fell in love, and married him in 1990. His career as a boatswain mate in the U.S. Coast Guard led us from the East to the West coast. Along the way, we raised two sons who stole our hearts and continue to make us better versions of ourselves.
But regarding the pain, it didn’t subside despite all the gifts in my life. Only through the love and counsel of therapists and mentors, I found my way - a better way.
After 23 years, Jay retired from active duty and we again settled in the great Mitten state where we’ve lived for the last 14 years. And like you, we continue to write and edit our story.
