Therapists in Chelsea, MI

Life can be hard. Young people face a number of challenges-- family stresses, anxiety about growing older and separating from parents, peer pressure, the lure of substances. As adults, we also face painful stressors-- divorce, for example, losses, aging. We can become stuck, overwhelmed, and confused. In my work with adolescents and adults, I offer an engaged, intensive approach that will allow us to understand how longstanding dysfunctional patterns and beliefs affect your daily life. Specialized training and decades of experience have taught me that the better we understand ourselves, the better we can handle challenges and implement adaptive solutions.

Everyone deserves to have a good day and a better tomorrow. I realize that taking on a personal change out of desire or necessity is often harder than it sounds. I work with all ages, life-stages, and conditions. People arrive with their bag of “stuff”: hopes, disappointments, wounds, trauma, diagnoses, and connections. I start where you are and work with you to create a path to a place of well-being.

The focus of my practice is children, families and young adults. I have particular focus on working with ADHD, Learning Disabilities, behavioral problems, academic concerns, and developmental issues.

I believe that everyone has the ability to improve and to enhance their sense of hope, peace, wellbeing and balance in life. It is my privilege to work collaboratively in a nonjudgemental and accepting space to support and empower individuals in the process of personal exploration and development. Through the consideration of thoughts, feelings, behaviors, responses and inner dialogue we can work together to improve your current state and you will be able to decide what choices make the most sense for you.

I see the many dimensions of life, including self identity, connections to others, history, humor, and so on, as central to the process of real healing. Bringing the invaluable benefit of a lifelong career as a psychotherapist to the healing experience, my contribution to the process of therapy simply cannot be summarized in a few words. I offer an approach that evolves to best meet the needs of each individual or couple.

I work with individuals across the lifespan, from age three through older adults while establishing an environment of safety, collaboration, and growth. Whether it's through play therapy with a child or insight development with adults, individuals are treated as unique and celebrated for what makes them different as we work together to help you reach your goals.

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.
