Therapists in Rochester, MI

I offer a very personalized approach to counseling. I believe in the power of a person's story and how that story has brought them to where they are at presently. I work from an integrated person-centered approach. One size/technique does NOT fit all in counseling. Moreover, I'm a believer in the therapeutic relationship being the key ingredient to effective therapy. I work with issues such as: grief, depression, anxiety, chronic-pain, panic, school issues and much more. Counseling is not the easy way through a life concern; it takes work and commitment. I promise to offer a safe, non-judgmental space for self-exploration.

I have been practicing as a psychologist for 40 + years, successfully facililtating adults, adolescents, and children to improve their relationships and transcend worry, anxiety, low self-confidence, and emotional distress assoicated with chronic illness. I am a cognitive-behavioral therapist, but I also utilize Mindfulness techniques, empathy, and humor. I view my role as a supportive facilitator, helping client's to establish their own goals, and coaching them in how to reach them. I teach clients to examine and challenge the thinking and beliefs that lead to their distress, and I aim to quickly help clients to feel better.

I am currently only accepting new patients for testing, not therapy. An important aspect of my practice is creating a space that allows us to explore the obstacles people face and develop tools to remove them. My primary focus is neuropsychological assessment for individuals struggling with a spectrum of concerns, including ADHD, Autism, and dementia. I am certified by the ACBIS and Brain Injury Association of America as a Brain Injury Specialist and work closely with other providers to ensure that all aspects of a person's health are addressed. I have also been certified by IBCCES as an Autism Specialist.

We are all on a journey towards improved health and wholeness, but the road to healing can often be difficult to navigate. Life challenges can result in feelings of anger, depression, anxiety, and loss of control. Often times we might experience physical symptoms as a result of ongoing stress as well. These same struggles, however, can be opportunities for growth. Our counseling professionals will walk with you on your journey of self-discovery, and together we will uncover your unique strengths, develop coping skills, increase self-confidence, and work toward restoring balance in your life.

In todays climate it is not uncommon to have anxiety, depression, or even find yourself turning to substances that maybe you have not in the past.

I have worked in hospice for a decade, helping patients and families navigate the end of life process, as well as work with trauma patients from military experience and auto accidents.

Sometimes it feels overwhelming. With compassion and respect, I listen carefully and without judgement. I use an interactive approach by involving my clients in problem solving and finding solutions that best fit their needs. It takes courage to reach out for help. Although change is difficult, I invite you to allow me to provide guidance, support and encouragement as you explore these changes in order to achieve a more satisfying and peaceful life.

Therapy is one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself. Everyone has a past and carries some form of baggage with them. The issues from the past that remain unresolved impact multiple areas of our lives from our personal contentment to our interpersonal relationships. Once a client understands the underlying cause of their anxiety, depression, hurt, fears, etc., they can come to a place of acceptance and move forward minimizing the impact these issues have on the present. Our goal is to help each client find healing in order to live fully and authentically in the present.

Taking the first steps in finding a therapist can be an intimidating experience for many people. Over the past twenty years as a clinical psychologist, I have been sensitive to my client's personal process of building rapport and trust. It is crucial to provide a space in which my client feels safe to share his/her personal life challenges without judgment, shame, or embarrassment.
