"I am a fully licensed psychologist with over 40 years of experience treating adolescents, adults, elderly, individuals, couples and families. My approach is eclectic, using whatever therapeutic techniques are appropriate to each individual's needs. I am an interactive therapist. Short term therapy is my preferred approach, in order to enable individuals to become healthier, more functional and to move on without interminable therapy. My practice also consists of forensic psychology and industrial/organizational psychological consultation. I coach employees, managers and corporate executives. Initial appointments are within at most within one week of client's contact."

"I have been helping individuals, families, and systems for nearly 10 years and I absolutely love what I do! My approach to therapy is all about helping you to be your best you. I am here to help women, men, teenagers, and families create a more fulfilling life. If you are ready to heal, change, grow, or simply create greater satisfaction in your life...give me a call!"

"The ultimate goal of my practice is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for you to achieve your own therapeutic & life goals. Whether you are struggling with feelings of anxiety or depression, difficulties with adjustment to new life situations (i.e. end of a relationship, marriage, birth of a baby, or starting a new educational journey), an extra support system in your life, or a deeper relationship with yourself, you don't have to do it alone. On your journey we can work to achieve personal growth, increase self-love, discover your true self, & learn & implement new skills."

"How can I help? My approach to therapy focuses on the process of interpersonal communication, problem-solving and coping skills. I am skilled at (DBT)) Dialectical Behavior Therapy and (CBT) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which are both highly effective treatment approaches to relieve excessive anxiety (OCD), eating disorders, depression, addictions, and stress. I have over 20 years of working with codependency issues as well as a specialization in eating disorders. I am trained in treating relationship and family issues including divorce.."

"I help parents work together in a productive manner during and after separation/divorce. I believe "Living Separately, Parenting Together" can be achieved by all loving parents, even as they face major life transitions and difficult circumstances.I teach the skills of Co-Parenting so children will have receive a positive and cohesive parenting experience. I also work with "blending" families as they enter into new relationships. I offer counseling and support to adult children of divorce as well as grandparents grieving their child's divorce."

"Clients often tell me their lives are adrift. As your psychologist, I'll try to offer fresh insights about where your life and relationships are headed. Together, we'll explore new ways to overcome stumbling blocks. You'll discover new strengths and opportunities. Then you'll leave with a positive outlook and a solid sense of direction. I've received recognition by my fellow psychologists as President of the Society for Personality Assessment, a past president of the Michigan Psychological Association, and a recipient of the Michigan Psychological Association Distinguished Psychologist Award and the American Psychological Association Heiser Presidential Award."

"Choosing a therapist can be an overwhelming process, to say the least. It's difficult to sit across from someone you've never met and tell your story, hoping they'll really understand and will be able to assist you in all the ways you're hoping for. While it can certainly feel scary to put yourself out there, it can be one of the most important decisions that you make for yourself. Therapy is an investment in YOU. It will require dedication of your time and energy, but the potential result is long-lasting personal growth and fulfillment."

"Accepting New Patients ! "Feeling overwhelmed, stressed, tired and unable to cope ? Perhaps you, your partner, your child are feeling depressed, anxious or having difficulty dealing with past or current traumas. I can assist you and your family in overcoming these stressors and help you learn healthy ways to cope. Together we will access strengths and goals for your treatment. I am able to effectively engage clients in crisis and facilitate immediate care to address issues and concerns causing stress and affecting mood and behaviors. I have worked with children, teens and adults all ages""

"A call for therapy is placed because some area of life is just not working. As a psychologist, my focus is on assisting each individual, couple or family in working towards and reaching the goals that brought them in. Together, we identify the nature of the challenges being faced and work together to get life back on track. I practice as a family psychologist, working with whomever comes into my office. Each one of us is part of a bigger circle and thus the work also focuses on those with whom the person works or lives, as relevant."

"The single most important factor in successful psychotherapy is the relationship between patient and therapist; effective therapy starts from the moment you walk in the door. If you feel unsure, please call and talk with me about setting up your first appointment."

"I love working with all types of families and situations. For almost 20 years I have worked with individuals, couples and families. I have also completed training as a sex therapist and sexual health educator. This program has given me a unique perspective and highly specialized training in working with a variety of sexual health issues, including questions and concerns by women and couples that center around low sex drive, medical reproductive health concerns, infertility issues, menopause and life adjustments. In graduate school my focus was with trauma and PTSD (a specialized program called CIVITAS, originally developed by Oprah)."

"Whether you are struggling with relationship difficulties, are unsatisfied with work, or don't believe that you are living up to your potential-I can help. You may be experiencing depression, anxiety, or feel overwhelmed by your life. As your therapist, I will help you to develop solutions to your problems in a way that is respectful of who you are. My hope is that you will leave treatment feeling better, with more self-understanding, and the ability to create new solutions for yourself. I look forward to hearing from you."

"My practice is founded upon a dedication to mental wellness and I work with people committed to achieving life-congruence by bringing into balance their past histories, present needs and desires, and future goals. I believe therapeutic growth is developed through a healthy relationship between patient and practitioner to address both the surface symptoms present and the underlying stuck patterns which maintain incongruence. My therapy approach involves a collaborative process with the patient as an expert in their experiencing of the world joined with my expertise in modality and method, supervised by Kari Coburn, PhD, LP."

"Let an experienced hand help guide you in your journey! It has been said that, "You are only as happy as your unhappiest child". Seeing a loved one in pain or distress or struggling in either their social, school or emotional life is one of the most painful things to watch. Whether it be Depression, Anxiety, AD/HD, or Regulatory /Behavior there are many treatment options available. I have spent over thirty years helping children, parents and individuals learn strategies to tackle and overcome life's everyday problems."

"Are you finding yourself at a moment in your life where you've lost track of who you are? Maybe it's a new baby, change in career or you're suddenly an empty nester. Maybe you're experiencing symptoms of depression or anxiety that you can't pinpoint a cause for. Regardless of the circumstances, it can feel disorienting and you may suddenly find yourself in need of support. Specifically, someone to talk to and someone to help you figure out how to get yourself back on track."

"As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my focus is to help provide support for individuals, children and families in a nurturing and empathic environment. My goal is to create a safe and comfortable space in which you are in control of your own goals in treatment. I encourage an open therapeutic relationship to help individuals, parents or children feel emotionally supported and able to genuinely express themselves. I work to provide individuals and families with the tools to effectively move toward a positive change."

"I believe the most critical element in the therapeutic process is the relationship between client and therapist. I strive to create a warm, empathic environment wherein I can work with clients to determine goals of treatment. We then work together to understand the issues that bring them into psychotherapy, utilizing a variety of techniques that ameliorate current discomfort."

"I generally find that people look for help at times when something in their lives is changing. At such times many adults, adolescents, and children have feelings of isolation, depression, and anxiety-or have other symptoms--because they need to feel recognized and appreciated. I focus on helping people stay connected during life changes e.g. who is in the household; losses at work or school; or family changes related to aging. I work with relationship situations including parent-child; parent-adolescent; sibling; same-sex, heterosexual, and cross-cultural couples; and stepfamilies as well as other complex family forms."

"There's nothing mysterious about psychotherapy. We've all benefitted from talking things over with friends, a spouse, our parents, our siblings, our family doctor or our priest, minister or rabbi. The fundamental principal of psychotherapy is rooted in our shared human experience: it helps to talk with someone. As a trained observer and listener with forty years of experience I will hear you and will work with you to help identify more fully the issues that trouble you. We will seek further insight together and attempt to identify meaningful solutions."

"Depression,anxiety and stress are a sad reality of life. Whether they develop because of relationship issues, parenting problems, addictions or are inherited genetically they are painful but can be treated. With cognitive, behavioral, supportive and mindful therapy, my practice MEND (Mental and Emotional New Directions), can offer strategies to help change dysfunctional, non-working patterns to achieve good mental health.
