Adlerian Therapists in 48309

Hello! I offer counseling on a broad array of topics; from stress, anxiety & burnout to self-care, resiliency & holistic wellness. My expertise in working with children & adults with special needs (autism/neurodiversity, IDD, CI & OCD) & family caregivers (child/elder/spousal) is extensive. I offer guidance on the acquisition of school & community support services. I am trained as both a counselor (licensed & nationally board certified) & a caregiver (30+ years experience/as a parent of young adult-aged children with Down syndrome & autism). I also provide counseling for women's issues, marriage, divorce, parenting & empty-nesting.

Have you been feeling clouded by self-doubt? Do things feel heavier than usual? Do you have a desire to explore yourself and your life on a deeper level? Questions about your past choices bombard you throughout the mornings. Your nights are highlighted with worries about the future. Managing each day is a task that continues to be unfulfilling without the right support. After years of taking care of others, you are now in need of someone neutral who will allow you to express yourself openly and genuinely. I am passionate and dedicated to helping you experience relief and growth in ways that are personally meaningful for you.

I believe that seeking therapy is a sign of courage and strength. By attending therapy, you may get clarity on difficult issues, obtain objective feedback, and develop individualized solutions that work for you and/or your family. As a licensed clinical psychologist, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment and work collaboratively with you and/or your family to meet your goals.

Safe, respected, valued, and understood – these are the emotions that clients experience when they feel connected with their counselor. These emotions, which can be thought of as basic “principles of care,” also serve as the bedrock for the therapeutic alliance. Upholding these principles is my priority. Doing so allows my clients to take brave steps into the unknown, to explore terrain that can be full of fears and frustrations, to formulate solutions where none could originally be conceived. Together, we map this landscape and learn from its features – until the time my clients feel ready to continue the journey on their own.

Are you experiencing a difficult time in your life right now? I want to help you through this difficult or transitional period in your life, so that you can shine brighter and be the best you that you can be. Life can be difficult. My passion is to walk with my clients through the ups and downs of the day, and help guide them through their unique journey so that they can become the best versions of themselves. My goal is to establish a friendly and welcoming space for each person that seeks support.

I take pride in bringing healing to people who have been through trauma/stressful experiences and those who are struggling with day to day life transitions and concerns. My job is to help my clients who include adults, children and families to find healthy perceptions of themselves, different coping skills and a new found strength within themselves to take on the world and thrive. I work with each client to create individual goals that best suit you to help you achieve your desired outcome.

I value my longstanding relationships with each client, and often received clients referring me to their family, friends, coworkers, physicians, teachers, etc..

I am currently only accepting new patients for testing, not therapy. An important aspect of my practice is creating a space that allows us to explore the obstacles people face and develop tools to remove them. My primary focus is neuropsychological assessment for individuals struggling with a spectrum of concerns, including ADHD, Autism, and dementia. I am certified by the ACBIS and Brain Injury Association of America as a Brain Injury Specialist and work closely with other providers to ensure that all aspects of a person's health are addressed. I have also been certified by IBCCES as an Autism Specialist.
