Depression Therapists in Traverse City, MI

As a queer, non-binary, and neurodivergent practitioner I personally understand how nerve wracking it can be to start your therapeutic journey with an unknown provider. As a trauma informed therapist I am committed to having a client-centered and collaborative approach catered to your personal growth and healing. I am passionate about working with individuals walking through anxiety, depression, adjustment, PTSD, C-PTSD, as well as queer and gender identity issues. I work with both individuals and couples to meet client determined goals, and hope to create a productive and safe place to heal and grow.

Coping with your anxiety or depression is hard, especially alone. How about starting in a safe space where, together, we can navigate through this. Are you struggling with communication and problem solving? Life is already too stressful to come home to feeling like no one is being heard or not being able to talk with your loved ones.

I can help you feel supported and process those feelings that come with PCOS, anxiety and PTSD.

It's easy to start thinking we can never be happy again. My goal is helping you find your capacity for meaningful change. Having the support system of a therapist is a powerful tool.

Life transitions can really throw us, and it is not because we are weak, it is because we are normal. I will help you use adversity to become resilient.

When we are experiencing psychological suffering, it is natural to want to find relief from our distress. Too often, though, our ways of coping or protecting ourselves from pain only lead us to more distress in the long run. We frequently find ourselves back in the same rut, or repeating the same mistakes over and over without knowing why.

Your pain does not define you. But, it sure does taint our view of ourselves. It's hard to see the best version of us. I would love to help you see how wonderful you are!

Traditional therapy models do not always resonate with people nowadays. Mindfulness training, on the other hand, if taught and utilized correctly, is just as effective today as it was thousands of years ago. Controlled breathing can calm us during a busy day at the office. Non judgmental awareness can help us be more patient with ourselves and our families. Meditative techniques such as one-pointedness can improve our focus and clarity. Despite several misconceptions, mindfulness is a practice that we can ALL readily access.
