I use a collaborative approach in my work, and approach clients in a compassionate manner. I have successfully worked with many individuals, families and couples over the past 25 years to help develop solutions to difficulties that interfere with satisfying relationships and life circumstances. I have advanced training in psychodynamic psychotherapy and family systems therapy. I use a long term approach with individuals who are dealing with childhood/adult trauma and short term approaches for those confronting current difficulties/crises. I believe therapy can result in identifying new solutions, greater self-awareness and life satisfaction.

Many people struggle with feelings of insecurity, fears and doubts in their lives. They begin to notice the same patterns over and over again that don't seem to be working in terms of adding happiness and security to their everyday life. As a psychotherapist with 15 years of experience, I engage with each client with empathy, compassion, knowledge and understanding. If you experience difficulty coping and feel overwhelmed - I can help offer a balanced perspective.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist who has successfully treated couples, families, and individuals for over 25 years. Using Brief, collaborative therapy, I help you learn new ways to successfully work through life's critical issues in as few as 10 sessions. How does Brief therapy work? Sessions are client focused and solution directed. You collaborate with me in creating desired goals then actively participate in homework directed to test and fine-tune skills used to resolve issues and achieve those goals. Therefore, therapy becomes more efficient and effective. Most clients successfully resolve their issues in 5 - 10 sessions!!

Client needs are my FIRST priority. I am a specialist in evidence-based treatments (EBT), which radically improves my client's success rates, increases effectiveness of treatment, and gets results quickly. The majority of my client's report improvements, within the first session: life-functioning (work- home-school-relationships) and report immediate reduction in symptoms. Reducing anxiety/panic, decreasing depression, developing stronger coping strategies to stress and balancing mood dysregulation are my specialty, as symptoms can result from adjustment challenges to sudden life changes: parenthood/divorce/grief/college. We collaborate on thinking traps, tracking triggers, modifying behavior, successful coping skills and strengthening resiliency.

As a very highly trained therapist I am compassionately and strongly interested in helping you. If you are having issues and suffering, and desire relief I can help you. I am a Training Analyst at the Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute (I treat and supervise psychologists/psychiatrists). When you begin the process of therapy with me, a powerfull therapeutic process is activated, leading to less emotional suffering, and to greater psychological liberation and happiness. My approach uses emotional empathy. Most clients are successful and self referred (or referred by their physician). To make an appointment, call my office (248) 646-6515.

My role as a psychologist is to help people solve problems that are interfering with their daily lives. Through counseling, I help you assess your strengths and develop your optimal potential. I help you clarify your current problems and then discover ways to best cope with them. And I assist you in changing self-defeating behaviors and making positive choices. In addition, mindfulness based stress reduction is a great tool for people who are feeling overwhelmed.

Treating patients (children, adolescents, teens, and adults) suffering from symptoms of anxiety, depression, anger, aggression, mood dysregulation, trauma, behavioral concerns, and other mental health concerns. Treatment is provided to patients and their families who are seeking improvement in their daily functioning, including work, school, relationships, and family dynamics. Patients are the experts on themselves, and should be willing and able to actively participate in the therapeutic process, which may include the exploration and practice of alternative coping skills.

Shall we talk about the issues you face? You may not be sure how to deal with them on your own. We could talk them through and consider the best solutions that would ease your mind by removing worrisome thoughts. Learning how to resolve some of these issues with people you relate to all the time will increase their understanding of you.

People come to therapy because "something" isn't working for them. That "something" can be emotions that are off kilter, a troublesome relationship, or a life event that has thrown the mind and body, the entire person, out of sync. My clients and I look at issues deeply and take a positive and active approach to healing. I see individuals, couples and families. My ideal client is the person who is motivated to solve the problem plaguing them. Short-term therapy is my therapy of choice.

Are you searching for positive changes in yourself, your child, or your family? Perhaps you are seeking improvements in your self-image, relationships, or are hoping to learn some new patterns of behavior? I offer a safe and understanding environment in which individuals and families of all backgrounds may work towards healing and growth. Together we can assess your individual goals, and identify realistic solutions to everyday issues based on your unique strengths.

As a co-creator of wellness, my practice endorses the "art" of individualized healing. My compassionate, creative, client-centered focus draws from the wisdom of several established disciplines to facilitate optimal health through the application of techniques derived from Psychological, Counseling, Mindfulness, Multicultural philosophy, Spiritual Counseling and the Expressive Arts. My practice builds upon an individual's strengths, enhances expression, increases personal insight and well-being. Ultimately, my goal is facilitate a safe, trusting and peaceful space in which my clients can heal, grow and ultimately thrive.

Are you at a place in your life where you are struggling to find your way? Does it feel like you’re constantly worrying about the future, weighing out your options, and trying to figure out what's next? Many of my clients come in seeking clarity on why they feel the way they feel, what's getting in the way of their goals, and how they have established patterns in behavior that no longer serve them. I work closely with my clients to explore the root of their problems, and identify obstacles serving as beliefs. In our work, we will identify your strengths, develop new ways of thinking, and cultivate a more fulfilling sense of self.

Thank you for your interest in my services. I am a fully licensed clinical psychologist with over 10 years of experience in working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I have significant experience in working with a wide variety of clients, treatment issues, and treatment styles. As a result I am able to tailor my therapeutic style to fit the specific needs of each individual or family. I am an active participant in the treatment process and view the therapeutic relationship as a 'team', where we work together to find solutions that are right for you.

Listening to what you say, and to what you don't say is very important to me. I am often told that talking to me was the very first time that a client had their feelings accepted. Helping others honor the unique perspective with which they see the world is the best way to enable a person to trust their feelings, to value their experiences, and to lead a richer life. I do believe that leopards can change their spots! I consult with psychotherapy and life-coaching clients in my office and also by phone across the country.

One of the most rewarding and beautiful things to witness is someone pushing beyond his or her barriers and experiencing life and the world in new ways.

I strive to provide this type of environment for each client.
