Depression Therapists in Petoskey, MI

Deciding to enter therapy can be intimidating but it shouldn't be. Whether you are experiencing a new challenge or a long-standing problem, therapy is a wonderful opportunity for self-healing and growth.

I will help you clarify the problem and together we will work together to identify goals and create a plan to help you reach those goals.
