Therapists in Muskegon, MI

Your life is a journey. Your journey has many unknown and unwanted paths. Most likely, feeling pain. Let's find a way to look at the journey with a different mindset by recognizing your strengths and building self-compassion. A little guidance from someone may make a big difference.

Oftentimes we find ourselves focused on issues outside of our control, engaged in unhelpful thinking patterns and feeling stuck and unfulfilled in life. We may battle with symptoms of depression and anxiety which seem difficult to manage and often disrupt our daily lives and goals. We may experience relationship problems, self esteem concerns or intrusive thoughts triggered by our past.

Being a human doesn't come with a handbook, and I want to help you navigate the parts of life that you are struggling with. Adult and teenage depression, anxiety, communication, boundaries, stress, sexuality, marriage, relationships, and trauma are areas of therapy that I focus on. I am passionate about what I do and love to weave CBT, existentialism, and positive psychology into my therapeutic approach. These methods can help individuals overcome trauma, provide new perspectives, decrease pessimism, and improve motivation. My approach fosters the ability to talk without filters, embarrassment, or pressure.
