Marriage Counseling Therapists in Troy, MI
It takes courage in recognizing the first step in your journey to healing. Making that initial call and asking for mental support can be daunting, but it is a journey you will continue to grow from throughout your life. I believe there must be a level of comfort and connection between therapist and client in order to feel emotionally safe and vulnerable. Together, we will work on creating a strong alliance that is built on trust, respect, and compassion. Recovery can be challenging, and may feel impossible- creating the space you need to explore your thoughts and behaviors can help you process where your feelings are coming from.

"Mental health isn't a thing. Talking about feelings and experiences isn't going to help. Things will get better by just putting my head down and powering through. I'm strong, self-reliant, and I don't need any help. I'll be fine just the way I am." These are all valid thoughts and feelings for an individual to have and many people believe these statements are true. Stereotypically, men especially, fall into these thought patterns. The numbers reflect this, approximately 30% vs 70% of those seeking counseling are men vs women. We are taught men don't have feelings and if they do they sure as hell don't talk to anybody about them.

Anxiety, depression and trauma can derail dreams, intentions and relationships. I have helped many individuals who are suffering from these conditions as well as those who simply feel that they are “not living their best life.“ In addition, I work with couples who are experiencing a feeling of “disconnect“ with their partner, including those who find themselves at a crisis point in their relationship. I strive to guide my patients to a place of awareness and clarity. This is essential to creating success in both love and work.

Life's hurdles are unexpected and frustrating to deal with in a society that expects we shoulder them without flinching. The past 2 years has not helped most in regards to relationships and how we view ourselves. Maybe you know what you need to do to get past your self-view, a toxic relationship, a past trauma. Maybe you are unsure at this point - either way - keeping your thoughts in isolation only breeds discontent, which can trickle into every facet of our lives until we cannot remember what our "best-self" looked like. I would be happy and privileged to be a blank canvas for you to spill out your frustration, grief, and joy.

I believe that therapy can be for everyone. Personal growth is a life long journey and therapy can help people realistically asses themselves and the manner in which they perceive, interact, and act within their world. I am here to help people achieve a change that promotes balance, growth, understanding and to become a “Master of their actions, not a prisoner of their reactions”.
I also believe humor can be used as an integral tool in the therapy experience. It often illuminates the many strange and challenging predicaments that we all face at times.
