Marriage Counseling Therapists in Petoskey, MI

Life can feel especially challenging if your journey has taken you on a path outside of the social norms. People who have experienced life in the military, those who deal with depression & anxiety, couples who are struggling in their relationships, and people of faith can often feel secluded. As a counselor I strive to normalize life experiences and assist in navigating the situations that my clients encounter. My goal is to provide a space for hope, strength, and growth.

I am licensed both as a Clinical Psychologist and Marriage and Family Therapist. I also have a Ph.D. in Quantum Advanced Medicine. I do therapy with individuals for depression, anxiety and many other life issues. I work with couples and families through Marriage and Family Therapy which is my specialty area. Furthermore, attending to the grief and loss through a divorce is also an important component of family work. Therapy with adolescents and children, sexual and alcohol addictions are critical components of my practice today. Clients come to me because of my strong emphasis on natural treatment consultations when possible.

My practice is built upon the belief in the resilience of the human spirit. Humans are remarkably skilled at learning how to adapt to overwhelming stress. "Survival" necessitates a disconnect from our body, heart and mind. Allowing narratives to unfold, within a safe relational dyad, can invite a journey back to the Self within. While I have a special interest, and heart for, working with those who have been deeply hurt, I also welcome couples who are struggling to live in harmony with one another or those who want to rekindle a "passion" for living life together in real, authentic partnership.

I am open, honest and truly care about helping individuals increase their quality of life. I provide a listening ear, information and education, as well as help in finding, exploring, and utilizing any needed resources.

At times life brings challenging experiences that feel too large to overcome. The results are exhaustion and feeling lost from emotional upset with no solution in sight.

I work solely with adults over the age of 35. It takes courage to engage in the psychotherapy process. I believe that therapy can have healing and growthful effects on peoples' lives and that emotional health significantly contributes to physical health and well-being. Facing stress, pain and trauma can be scary and I feel fortunate and honored to be able to work with people at difficult and painful times in their lives. I greatly respect the growth process that comes with the work of psychotherapy. I view the relationship between patient and psychologist as collaborative and largely driven by the expressed needs of the patient.

We will explore your current situation/presenting problem(s) in the initial session(s) to define your counseling goals. Then we will develop a plan to work toward those goals as we identify your strengths, any obstacles you might encounter along the way, and how you will know when those goals have been attained. I am confident that you will reach your desired healing and growth in this collaborative process. After achieving your goal(s) we may decide to set more goals or you may choose to end your counseling for now.

When experiencing such difficulties a trained professional like myself may be needed to help.
