Family Systems Therapists in Gaylord, MI
My clients often come to me looking for peace and rebalance after a difficult and sometimes traumatic experience. They are looking for a safe place to unpack everything that has happened and piece it all back together in a way that creates meaningfulness out of the chaos. Often, I work with the whole family structure, as we rarely experience anything purely individually. That might look like helping partners rediscover their feelings for each other or reestablishing appropriate roles and boundaries between partners or parents and their children. Sometimes it is helping those families restructure after a big life change or event.

I work solely with adults over the age of 35. It takes courage to engage in the psychotherapy process. I believe that therapy can have healing and growthful effects on peoples' lives and that emotional health significantly contributes to physical health and well-being. Facing stress, pain and trauma can be scary and I feel fortunate and honored to be able to work with people at difficult and painful times in their lives. I greatly respect the growth process that comes with the work of psychotherapy. I view the relationship between patient and psychologist as collaborative and largely driven by the expressed needs of the patient.

Have you been in survival mode for too long? Are you working so hard to reparent yourself while simultaneously parenting small people with big needs? Or are you parenting a child with big behaviors or emotions? Parenting a child who is struggling is stressful and isolating. Maybe the thought "this isn't what (or the child) I was expecting" has even run through your mind. Whether you planned for pregnancy, fostering or adopting, you likely dreamed of love, connection and joy. And now you are not sure how to get there from here. Or if it is even possible. It really is! There is always room for hope.

We are all unique individuals, with unique problems and unique ways of handling difficulties. Sometimes in life, we all find ourselves stuck. Stuck in a pattern of behavior, stuck in negative thinking, stuck at work or stuck in an unhealthy relationship. Together, we can work through these situations to discover more about yourself and what it is you truly want. I am here to listen without judgment or opinion to help you uncover what is truly best for you in your unique situation. Sometimes just taking the first step will uncover things you never thought possible.

My holistic counseling approach draws on evidence-based and trauma-informed practices rooted in neuroscience, focusing on emotional regulation, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, attachment, mindfulness, meditation, somatic awareness, and the Enneagram.
Life can be hard and sometimes you find yourself struggling with something that you just don’t know how to overcome on your own. That’s where counseling comes in. At Still Space Counseling, I start from the belief that you are whole; that you have everything you need within you right now to heal and thrive in this life. You are not your struggle. Underneath the anxiety, depression, pain, loneliness, anger, insecurity, obsession, addiction...there is an authentic Self, and that is who I will see and help to uncover. I believe that as you find safety and trust within yourself, you will have the power to overcome any challenge.

The majority of counseling I provide is based on cognitive-behavioral, family systems, and supportive therapy theories.
Life is not always easy. Sometimes you may find yourself feeling overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, and/or uncertain. An outside perspective is often helpful.

Extensive experience with anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, childhood behaviors, suicidality, self-harm behaviors, family systems, adolescents, divorce, transitions, to name a few.
Clinically, I have worked in the Community Mental Health system and in a private practice prior to opening my own private practice. I am trained in 10+ evidenced-based practices like Cognitive Behavior therapy (CBT), Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy, used in treating PTSD, the Nurturing Parent Program (NPP), and Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT). My passion is to help others to live life as the best version of themselves, regardless of their age or presenting issues. I believe that each of us is just one person away from reaching that goal of a happy life, and if I can be that for you then it is a win for us both.

Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
