When you're struggling with something-maybe a specific event, maybe some drain you can't quite name-wading through a series of uncomfortable clinical sessions isn't helpful. Having a candid conversation about what's true for you-what's working in your life and what's not-is. I'm a practicing psychologist in Traverse City, and I tailor counseling services just for you.
Setting aside time to go talk to Charity has been the only thing that has consistently helped me feel confident and in control of my life and my mental health. Even after making so much progress I will look to my time with Charity as my most important tool for continuing mental health. I have been able to find direction and set goals for my life instead of just struggling with my day-to-day responsibilities and feeling lost.
She asks questions that help me find my own path. I am so thankful for Charity! Charity's gentle guidance has allowed me to work through immense personal crises. Her validation, compassion, and support have given me the strength to accept where I am presently, but also understand my own unique ability to heal and grow mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.

Having a candid conversation about what's true for you-what's working in your life and what's not-is.
That's why my goal is to create a space where you can be exactly who you are and share exactly how you feel.
Not certain you even know?
I get it.
As a practicing psychologist, wife, mother of two, and former teenager myself, I know that sometimes feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just plain down happens.

As a practicing psychologist, wife, mother of two, and former teenager myself, I know that sometimes feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just plain down happens.
While I have training and experience working with people of all ages and genders, I am especially passionate about teen therapy and counseling for women.
Because my approach to therapy is personal, I strive to relate to you as I am-a wife, a mom, a daughter, a friend, a working woman, a former teen - not as an unknowable clinician.
That's because I believe building a foundation where you feel connected and understood is essential to your comfort and your progress.
If you're a woman today, whether you're single, working, with children or without, chances are good you're stressed, overwhelmed, and feel pulled in dozens of different directions.

What I do is apply my 15 years of clinical experience and insight to your particular needs.
I question, listen, and let you guide the pace of your progress toward where you want to be-in your day-to-day and in your own head and heart.
Everyone feels sad or down sometimes.
But if you're feeling a perpetual, persistent grief or unhappiness, you might be struggling with depression.
Depression can feel like a weight that drags you down day after day.
It darkens your thinking and emotions, making it a struggle to manage your usual activities - sleeping, eating, work, self care, communicating with friends and family, and more.

You don't have to feel numb or paralyzed by fear, or cry in bed day after day to merit therapy.
In fact, I'd rather you not suffer alone so long that you reach these points.
Although I can certainly help you if you're there, I can also help if you're anywhere on the route.
Remember: Feelings of unhappiness, anxiety, dissatisfaction, or frustration mean you're human.
But if those feelings wear you down or prevent you from living your ideal life, you're right to seek support.
Whether you need to unload a little, work through an issue for a few months, or embark on a longer-term commitment, going to a therapist can be a worthwhile growing and stabilizing experience.
