ADHD Therapists in Highland, MI

I love working with "high energy " boys and their parents. Whether they are diagnosed with ADHD or simply need some help with directing their energy and impulses to improve life at home and at school. In terms of adults I work with couples who are struggling to connect emotionally and have the same unresolved issues that come up over and over again. The third client group I work with are adults struggling with addiction and those with a history of childhood trauma, particularly emotional and/or sexual abuse who are trying to heal and grow beyond the abuse. I am also uniquely qualified to work with traumatic injury recovery.

I have over 35 years of experience working with children, adults, couples and families on a wide variety of life problems. It is important to find a therapist that is a good fit, someone with whom you feel comfortable and who takes your concerns seriously.

It's not uncommon to get stuck in unsatisfying and frustrating situations. Through our relationship you can start to become aware of issues that interfere with feeling better and use your strengths to make changes and move forward.

I graduated from Oakland University with a bachelors in Psychology and then from Spring Arbor University with a masters degree in Counseling.

Just because you wear it well doesn't mean its not heavy. Does your outward smile hide the pain you are feeling inside?
