I recognize the bravery and strength it takes to meet a stranger and explore the challenges and concerns you may be facing. I am committed to creating a trusting, respectful and engaging partnership that focuses on collaboration. I believe that treatment should be person-centered, recognizing that treatment should be driven by the individual and where they are at. It is truly my passion to empower others to promote healing, find a healthy perception of themselves and strengthen relationships leading to a happier and healthier life.

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain" - Anonymous. My therapy style is warm and compassionate as I work with clients who desire to not just cope with life, but to thrive. My goal is to help you achieve and live the life you want and deserve, and I do this by helping you remove the blocks of personal growth, improve relationships with yourself and others, and find relief from your struggles. I use a diverse set of therapy "techniques" but mostly prefer to base our therapy on your specific needs.

**CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS**I am passionate about helping people problem solve through a difficult time. I have 20 years of experience helping people work through issues related to loss, work stress, family problems, relationship struggles, substance abuse & addictions, codependency issues and infertility struggles. I specialize in working with adults age 18+ and especially love working with couples and families. I truly believe that every person wants to be validated and heard. I provide a nurturing & supportive environment that supports clients to create balance and wellness in their lives.

I provide therapy that addresses a wide range of issues including anxiety, health-related concerns, anger management, and personal and family problems. I have extensive experience with LGBT clients and alternative lifestyle issues, and I provide couples and marriage counseling. In addition, my 30-year career encompasses being a professor who has trained psychologists at four different universities. I have also taught over 300 national workshops which prepare psychologists for licensure as independently practicing professionals. This role as a trainer of hundreds of doctoral-level practitioners has allowed me to develop an extensive level of expertise which I apply in treating my patients and clients.

I deeply respect a person who makes that call to request professional help, and walks through my door for the first time. It takes courage, and our culture does not often make it easy to access to mental health services. We are emotional, relational, resilient creatures, and sometimes we need another skilled person to help us move forward in life. My experience in outpatient and inpatient mental health settings, as well as medical/rehabilitation settings, has equipped me with solid skills to treat most mental health and relational problems. My website, wolfpsychservices.com provides more detailed information.

Thank you for taking time to learn how we can partner together. I offer an atmosphere of warmth, encouragement, wellness and 35 years of experience as a marriage & family psychologist. Having raised a son and daughter, married a long time and six grandchildren, I know families, careers and life in general can be very stressful. It is my passion to help you make your journey easier and successful for you. Knowledge is power - the more you learn about yourself, communication skills, and acquire tools to eliminate depression, anxiety, anger, phobias, etc. the happier you will be in all aspects of life!

I believe that each person is an expert on their own unique experience. I view my role as being a guide in assisting people towards discovering and reaching their goals towards enhancing and enriching their lives. I use a strength-based approach to build a strong foundation for the therapeutic relationship. I work with individuals, couples, and families

Are you ready to find a better you? Have you been feeling the same way for a long time and are tired of feeling that way? Are you feeling the everyday pressures of being an athlete? You are not alone and do not have to deal with these concerns by yourself. Life can be difficult and I am here to help you. I have experience working with individuals from 10 to 70 years old surrounding anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-harm and many other concerns. A former member of University of Michigan's women's gymnastics team, I also have experience working with athletes surrounding fears, competition anxiety and overall performance.

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.

There is no ideal client. I'm best suited to deal with people where they're at with an open mind, an open heart, and much experience in life.

Thank you for your patience as we work through this COVID-19 crisis. We would like to remind you to focus on your and your family's physiological, safety, and emotional needs.
