Therapists in Ypsilanti, MI

Hello! We all experience struggle and difficult situations in life. I approach all who come into my office with acceptance, support and individually tailored sessions. We will work together to gain better understanding, set goals and work toward them. Therapy is a safe, judgement-free space for you and/or your family unit to work through hard times. It is a privilege and an honor for me to walk with you through such difficult and vulnerable moments. Please know that you are not alone and, together, we can move toward a better tomorrow.

My clinical work is focused exclusively on psychological/neuropsychological assessment and intervention for children, adolescents, and adults. A thorough assessment seeks to understand, diagnose, and classify to be sure; however, the ultimate benefit is providing a manageable and effective intervention plan that leads to relief from distress and an increased capacity to engage fully in one's life. I would be pleased to meet you for a consultation, so that we may discuss your or your child's situation and have you receive a more detailed sense of my approach.

I work to help others reduce distress, maximize functioning and find joy and purpose in their lives. No matter what challenges we face, we can learn ways to improve our ability to meet and overcome them. I use a combination of techniques to build and enhance skills for rising to meet life's stressful moments and to understand that our "weaknesses" can be our greatest strengths.

Psychotherapy, if done well, provides participants with the gift of self-understanding. That self understanding, I have found, comes from the experience of being listened to and understood by a sensitive and knowledgeable therapist. But in addition, psychotherapy needs to practically address problems. I have extensive training in contemporary psychoanalytic approaches, which allows me to help patients understand themselves more deeply; often this produces profound changes. But when problems require practical techniques, I integrate aspects of cognitive-behavioral, family systems, and humanistic approaches.

Finding a good "fit" with a therapist can have a significant impact on achieving a successful outcome. I strive to help each client discover and harness their unique strengths in addressing their problems. With children, intervention is orientated toward problem-solving family therapy. A cognitive-behavioral approach is often utilized when working with adults and teen. Psychological, and Neuropsychological Evaluations are intervention-focused. Tests chosen are "sensitive" to the diagnostic concerns and guide treatment. I help develop and implement practical behavioral management and social support strategies in real life situations, including the home , classroom or work .
