Whether you are feeling a little bit off your game or deeply stuck, by seeking help you're on the right path. I work to provide a safe, supportive, and calming space. For 30 years I worked in adoption and family services. I am experienced in trauma, parenting, infertility, gender/ sexuality/racial identity and relationship building. I use a variety of interventions, and work with clients to set goals to plan for successful outcomes. I offer remote treatment over a HIPAA compliant platform, or face to face in office. I am an AAMFT-approved supervisor offering supervision hours for those seeking licensure in HI or MI.
I am confident in by ability to work with anyone who is open to learning. I enjoy helping my clients reach their maximum mental health, personal and career goals. I've lived and/or worked in Michigan, NY, Hawaii, Germany, Eastern Europe, S. and Equatorial Africa, and China. I value the role culture plays in understanding who we are.
I understand the trepidation you may have as you consider therapy. I know the feelings wrapped up in vetting a therapist, and want you to know I support the idea of "good therapeutic fit". You'll know pretty quickly if I'm right for you. We'll talk things through, and I'll support you in finding what you need, whether with me or someone else.

I enjoy working with clients to identify their burdens. Once we've sorted that out, we can get to work on finding peace and bringing in joy; or whatever the goal is! My main focus has been trauma, which is very general, and relationship issues which are prevalent for most of us. I like to look at childhood as a source for adult challenges, but am open to focusing on the present too.

I use a variety of methods, with EMDR, IFS and a general psychodynamic approach as the most common. We can jump in to triage your difficulties more quickly, or we can take a bit longer to gather history and look for threads and trends. I'll want to hear your thoughts and preferences, and ideally we will build a plan together.
