"I specialize in working with mid-life adults caught in the intersection of competing and changing needs - their own, those of their adolescent/young adult children and those of their aging parents/relatives. It's easy to lose ourselves in caring for others, especially when facing challenges like divorce, economic uncertainty, illness and/or death, job loss/change and other major life transitions. As a former geriatric social worker and care manager for U-M's Turner Geriatric Clinic, I work to connect my clients with available resources while providing a safe and supportive environment in which to discuss concerns and develop strategies."

"In therapy I work together with clients to address issues that may be interfering with their overall well being or may be hindering how they function in one or more areas of life. My practice is informed by mindfulness and I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches to improve functioning and resilience."

"My practice spans working with individuals, couples and families, as well as teaching courses in Family Systems, Relationship Conflicts and Parenting. I am specialized in family and marital therapy, managing anxiety and depression, chemical dependency and addictions. I also provide supervision to clinicians to benefit their practice of psychotherapy."

"We all have it within us to overcome the obstacles that stand in our way. I am here to help you through your personal struggles, empowering you to live a life full of meaning. Whether you are struggling with a negative self-image, an addiction or habit that doesn't serve your well-being, overwhelming anxiety, sadness, stress, or are simply looking for more clarity and focus to start living a life filled with purpose, I am here for you."

"I enjoy working with students on a range of concerns, such as bullying, peer issues, and emotion regulation. I also work with adults on a wide range of issues, including substance abuse, couples and family, stress management, and career counseling. My counseling approach is a holistic one, working with you to achieve your best possible, social, personal, and career goals."

"I'm passionate about helping people overcome trauma, depression, anxiety and other obstacles to create a life worth living.

"For over 20 years, my focus has been on providing effective, individualized, and research-informed treatment for children, adolescents and adults. I have worked across the developmental lifespan from birth to seventy, and am Endorsed by the Michigan Association of Infant Mental Health (Level IV). We’ll work together to help develop greater self-awareness and self-regulation skills to build up more resources – both within you and surrounding you – to face life challenges. Common problems that I address are: Adversity (Adjusting to Significant Life Stressors, including trauma), ADHD, Executive Function Deficits, Anxiety, Depression"

"I believe that most behavioral/ emotional problems have a common origin which is the failure to express true emotions and feelings. Individuals learn early on that which is acceptable and that which is not. As we push away feelings, and deny parts of who we are, these feelings don't simply disappear; instead, they remain hidden, and continue to influence behavior in unpredictable and negative ways. Because of this commonality in most problems, I welcome people who have problems with anxiety, depression,eating disorders, relationship problems, sexual concerns,and addictive behaviors."

"Just as the body naturally moves toward physical health, the brain's natural tendency is to move toward mental health. But sometimes the brain can be blocked from its natural tendency due to disturbing life experiences. When this block occurs, we can experience ongoing symptoms and emotional distress. Disturbing life experiences can affect our ability to optimally function in the present. Memories, feelings, and beliefs that are associated with difficult events can cloud our perceptions and responses to people and situations in the current circumstances of our lives."

"Do you find yourself saying things like I "should" feel happy/content, but still feeling low? Or maybe feel like you don't have a strong sense of who you are? Perhaps wondering if your early life is still impacting you in unhelpful ways? As a therapist, I enjoy helping people put together these pieces. My goal is to help you address both specific problems as well as understand and navigate the underlying causes."

"I provide a safe, supportive, non-judgmental environment for you to explore personal issues, dilemmas, and concerns in a professional setting. I utilize a highly empathic approach, always keeping in mind your comfort level & sense of security. I believe that psychotherapy can be deeply transformative and healing. I provide you the opportunity to embark upon a process of personal growth and development in an atmosphere of compassion and support. Therapy can be used to address problems as well as existential concerns, dreams, fears, and life transitions. I work with people of all races, cultures, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities."

"My ideal client would be school-aged and experiencing emotional and/or behavioral symptoms that impact interpersonal and academic functioning, such as depression because of poor school performance or vice versa. With children, these things are so often tied together and I have found that targeting both, simultaneously, results in the greatest level of symptom reduction and improved outcomes."

"I work with individuals and couples to integrate mind, body and spirit with evidence-based clinical approaches to heal emotional struggles, build sustainable health and wellness, and ultimately, help you transform your life and relationships. Your sessions may include frank and thought-provoking discussion of your emotional road blocks, including concrete ways to support and heal your emotional fragilities; a guided mindfulness exercise; and dialogue and practice for connecting to your innate strengths, clarity, and contentment. Together we will focus on tangible, on-the-ground results in your life."

"Despite one's many strengths and talents, life sometimes presents challenges. I would be deeply honored to provide support and guidance, as we work together, to help you navigate the stresses in your life or in your adolescent's life."

"My treatment approach is validating and understanding while at the same time sincere and direct. I use an integrative approach to help my clients to find balance in their personal, academic and professional lives. I work collaboratively with clients to help them to explore their next steps towards reaching their goals and finding peace in their day-to-day lives. I am experienced at working with individuals with struggles related to binge eating, low self-image, anxiety, depression and difficult life transitions. "

"People who gain the most from therapy usually identify with one or more of the following: curious about themselves, want to improve their relationships with others, want more satisfying relationships with others, seek to find the most satisfaction life has to offer. I have extensive training in various types of psychotherapy, including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and brief, solution-focused psychotherapy, so that I may offer an approach best-suited to each individual's needs. I specialize in individual adult and couples therapy, anxiety/depression, life issues and adjusting to loss; and helping clients through divorce."

"I combine traditional talk therapy with integrative and holistic approaches that calm the nervous system, access inner knowledge, strengthen the Self, and develop new ways of coping with challenges. These can include breath and relaxation, guided imagery, meditation, and energy psychology. I also teach cognitive behavioral techniques to change harmful thought patterns. Based in current brain science and ancient wisdom teachings, I help people utilize the healthy and mature parts of themselves to become more conscious, integrated, and whole."
