Do you dread or fear going to sleep because it's just another night to struggle? Have you been plagued with insomnia for years? I have over 20 years experience in treating insomnia . I particularly focus on busy professionals using an integrative approach to improve sleep , mood, and health. We will examine how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole. We'll work together so you can finally learn to sleep well and reach your health related goals.

My practice specializes in the application of evidence-based therapy for a range of behavioral, emotional and relational concerns. I am an integrative practitioner, which means that I commonly work by combining a number of evidence-based therapeutic approaches which are tailored to an individual’s specific needs. My work primarily draws from Cognitive-behavioral Therapy (CBT) which is an approach to therapy supported by research and has been shown to be effective for a number of problems, including depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), insomnia , and relationship problems.

My work is short term and solution focused. I draw on several therapeutic approaches, depending on the nature of the problem, including behavior therapy, family therapy and strategic therapy. I have a diverse background from 50 years of experience in the treatment of children, adolescents, and adults. I am expert in a number of psychotherapeutic approaches, including short-term solution-focused therapy, cognitive-behavior therapy, family-systems therapy, and psychoanalytic therapy. I developed an evidence-based wellness program with a positive psychology emphasis at the Ann Arbor VA Hospital.

Currently offering in-person and telehealth appointments. Welcome! I am a clinical psychologist and I work primarily with adolescents, young adults, and adults. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing trouble sleeping, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, chronic stress, life transitions, and peer relationships. I use a client centered approach to help individuals use their strengths to cope with life's ups and downs. My goal is to help you develop coping skills and concrete tools to better manage difficult situations and learn to navigate life differently.

I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, so I try to customize my therapy to each client. I believe in meeting people where they're at, and helping them find and use the tools to work through their pain. I can help if you're struggling with depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties, poor self-esteem, trauma, or adjustment issues. I really like to help people go deeper into their present issues, through a somatic, psychodynamic, and attachment focused lens. I am also really interested in intuitive eating.

Is something out of balance in your life? With yourself? Your child? Your effectiveness as a parent? Your relationships? Life circumstances/transitions? If it is, please know that my way of practicing is to non-judgmentally understand what is going on--what area of your life is being negatively impacted. Then we can collaboratively work on establishing goals and a treatment plan. Whether it is Anxiety, OCD, Autism (including very young kids with autism), Depression/Bipolar, Behavior Problems, ADHD, Trauma or Insomnia , there is a way for you or your child to feel more in control, grounded and balanced.

Are you experiencing challenges with feeling stuck and uncertain of your future? Do you often feel overwhelmed in achieving your desired goals? Are you finding yourself possibly taking the path of most resistance? Do you feel like you have been struggling through your journey alone? You are a high performer with perfectionism tendencies however, it feels like the more you try, the more difficult it is to achieve acceptance, healing and forgiveness. Feeling overwhelmed can often create a sense of helplessness and a sense of being out of control.

Change may not be easy, however, you don't have to take part in that journey alone. I work with kids, teens, adults, parents, and couples seeking change. Suffering is a normal part of being a human, and human suffering can affect relationships, work, parenting, communication, ability to care for oneself, and more. Learning skills to help with emotions, increase motivation, and stress management can make a world of difference in your life. I would be honored to take part in that journey with you! *Not currently accepting adult clients for trauma treatment.*

Our journey often includes painful emotional experiences. Are you dealing with the loss of a loved one or dealing with the heart ache associated with the ending of a long-term romantic relationship? Are you challenged by sleepless nights and drowsy days? Has the stress of life challenges (ie work, marriage, or finances) caused you to constantly worry about everything? Or, at times, are you constantly bombarded with thoughts that make you feel hopeless? In all sincerity, I am really sorry that you are struggling right now and I would like to help. Your healing journey can start by accepting the free 15 minute consultation.

I work with individuals who need help with mood/depression, grief/loss (including pet loss), anxiety, and stress. My client history includes medical professionals and first responders experiencing burnout. I have a long history of working with military veterans and PTSD. I specialize in disability and work-related problems.

It is wonderful that you decided to begin the process of finding a therapist. I think that it is vital that you find someone that is a good fit for you. It is important to create an environment that is free of judgment so that you can feel safe expressing yourself. The way we form our identity is complex, many roles play a factor including our environment, family history, current relationships, and lifestyle. Through the journey of life, events both positive and painful help to mold us. The path of healing and exploration into yourself can lead to a stronger, happier, healthier you.
