Male Therapists in Traverse City, MI
Sometimes, finding hope and purpose can be really difficult. Whether it’s depression, anxiety, relationship issues, teenager adjustments, or even an addiction, the storms of life can be challenging, but you don’t have to weather those storms alone. Everyone deserves to feel hope…everyone deserves to live life with purpose. As a counselor, I've had the privilege of walking with hundreds of people through heavy and often overwhelming seasons in their lives. One of the many things I've learned is that your past does not need to define your future. Restored health, hope, and purpose can be your reality.

I like to think outside of the box. I like to establish goals and I aim to bring about hope and establish goals, not just so we can get through current challenges, but to strive for a life worth living. My "Ideal client" is someone who is willing to take some potentially unconventional approaches to counseling. To specify, I have had the best success with those struggling with trauma, situational depression or anxiety, grief and loss, or those going through transitional periods such as graduating from high school, seeking new employment or educational opportunities, or exiting the military.

If your marriage has too much conflict, too little togetherness, or it just feels like you've gone in different directions, I can help you get back on the track you want to be on. Some times the patterns that are developed in marriage need a little jolt in order to shift onto a better path. Working on these issues with practical tools in the context of your life in Christ gives you resources that are unavailable simply working on these things yourselves. If you are an individual struggling with anxiety or depression or relational problems, I can also help you with a plan and tools to handle life more effectively.

My ideal clients are bright, insightful adults, often with advanced education or lived wisdom, who on some level feel disconnected despite outward stability. Most have carried childhood roles like hero, caretaker, lost child, or scapegoat into adulthood. Some build careers; others raise families—many do both. Yet they often feel lonely, frustrated or unfulfilled in their relationships and/or careers. I work equally well with men and women of all ages. Whether outwardly successful or quietly holding it all together, they’re ready to stop performing and start truly living.
