Therapists in Traverse City, MI
Life can be really difficult. You’ve tried so much on your own to overcome the anxiety, grief and depression. The past comes up to haunt you just when you’ve thought you have come to terms with it. Day to day functioning can be difficult and daunting. Getting to sleep at night can be a challenge yet getting out of bed in the morning to face another day is difficult. Relationships are not going as you would like them to. Friends do not understand the pain and the daily struggles. You may be struggling with health and family issues as well.

My ideal clients are couples and individuals who are tired of suffering and want to make positive changes in their lives. My clients don't lay on the couch and vent, but rather are willing to roll their sleeves up and work hard to feel better and change. If you have trauma, we will get to the root of it. No more avoidance. If you're in a relationship with poor communication, broken trust and little intimacy we will fix it. We will equalize the power between you both, and draw healthy boundaries individually, and as a couple.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.- Maya Angelou. This quote speaks to the core of my practice. I want you to feel heard, seen, and understood. I hope to have you leave each session feeling a little better than when you arrived.

Therapy is not one size fits all. Therapy should be catered to your individual needs, concerns, and goals. I will walk beside you on your journey, assisting you over the bumps and cracks along the road. We can start wherever you are in your healing and self discovery, as there is no pressure to talk about things that you do not want to. I often hear that others are concerned about starting over, retelling their stories. Well, that is not the case here. You are in control of your story and I am here to listen, clarify and help you write the next chapters you deserve. This is not easy life work and you do not have to do it alone.

My goal is to join you in the mess that is life. I am here to support you in finding meaning through the joys, pains, trials and tribulations. I'm looking for clients who are ready to dig in, grow and make some life changes. Whether you're recently out of prison, supporting a family member with a brain injury, supporting children who aren't all sunshine and rainbows or just trying to function in life without breaking down every other day, I'm here for all of it. I am generally looking for adult clients, with diverse backgrounds, looking for ways to thrive, advocate and empower themselves (and those around them) through life.

It can be scary and intimidating when entering therapy. It is quite common that people can feel very vulnerable with the idea of sharing intimate details of their life. As a therapist, I believe it is a privilege to be invited into another person’s life. My philosophy is that I do not believe that people are broken, but rather each person is a unique individual who has, at some point, encountered struggles on the journey of being human. Therapy is often needed when those struggles become so intense that they impact the quality of life. Therapy is not about fixing people but rather learning, adapting and overcoming the challenges.

My ideal client is inspired to be curious together and work together to identify and remove blockages that prevent a life of clarity and abundance. Whether relationship issues, parenting challenges, grief, unresolved trauma, addiction, career matters, or even the most deeply-stuck moods (anxiety, depression, etc.), we all possess within us the capacity to instinctively heal and thrive with sustained connection, vibrancy and aliveness. It’s likely a simple solution, in need of the right "non-pathological" and rigorously client-centered approach is all. My clients are empowered to reconnect with and regain trust in themselves.
