Welcome to Strive Health Psychology in Traverse City, MI. I’m a Licensed Clinical Health Psychologist dedicated to helping individuals strengthen the connection between mind and body. Clients often turn to therapy to manage stress, health challenges, or performance demands. Together, we build clarity, balance, and resilience.
My approach integrates health psychology, pain management, and sports psychology within a strength-based, solution-focused framework. I help clients cultivate confidence, endurance, and creative problem-solving skills to navigate life’s challenges.
I’ve supported a diverse range of clients—from collegiate, Olympic, and professional athletes (including X Games competitors and the Green Bay Packers) to individuals navigating medical challenges, chronic stress, or major life transitions—helping each person build resilience, focus, and well-being.
Treatment options include neurofeedback, biofeedback, and animal-assisted therapy with an AKC-trained, hypoallergenic Shih Tzu who provides warmth and support throughout the therapeutic process.
At Strive Health Psychology, my goal is to create a compassionate, supportive environment where you can heal, grow, and thrive—mentally, physically, and emotionally.
