221 Garland Street Suite J Traverse City, MI 49684
I provide therapy for children, adolescents, adults, and couples who are navigating meaningful life changes and challenges. Whether in individual, family, or couples sessions, I focus on the strengths you already carry and the ways your relationships, experiences, and environments shape your well‑being. My priority is creating a safe, accepting space where your goals and values guide our work. Together, we build on your resilience, deepen your self‑awareness, and support emotional healing that helps you show up more fully for yourself and the people who matter most to you.
Using approaches like CBT, IPT, SFT, Family Systems, and PCIT, I work collaboratively at your pace to foster insight, confidence, stronger relationships, and emotional health.
For scheduling or inquiries, please reach out via email.
