Family Therapy in West Bloomfield, MI

I have been successfully practicing individual, family , and marital therapy for over 30 years. My focus in the treatment process fundamentally proceeds from a client centered approach; In other words, I don't try to fit the client to some rigid framework but begin the work where the client is. I put great care into creating a safe, private, and confidential environment in which individuals, couples, and families can explore and deal with the issues that bring them into therapy.

The hardest part is reaching out for the help you desire. I would like to offer you a safe and welcoming space to talk freely and without judgement. I have a passion for working with individuals that are dealing with depression, anxiety, difficult family relationships, life transitions (job, school), marital issues as well as grief and loss. I am committed to every individual that comes into my office, I am confident that through a supportive, caring, nonjudgmental approach we can work together towards helping you make the changes necessary and developing the tools and resources needed to improve the quality of your life.

Empathy is the foundation of our work together. As a psychotherapist, I listen attentively to understand your emotions and your life challenges. Our therapeutic work will help you feel more fully alive by processing and understanding your emotions, thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. Your past often creates pain and suffering leaving scars that affect your present emotions and relationships. My goal is to help you recognize these challenges that make you feel overwhelmed and stuck. I will help you rework your thoughts and feelings to free you from the burden of the past and inspire you for the future.

As a licensed clinical psychologist I will work collaboratively with you to identify and better understand the challenges you are facing, as well as the strengths and supports you possess to address these challenges. I have seen firsthand how this exploration can lead to desired changes in people's lives.

Are you struggling with emotions that interfere with your ability to feel happiness and a sense of well-being? Are you dealing with feelings or circumstances that impact your daily life? Making the decision for support can be a very difficult one, as we want to believe "we can handle it". Acknowledging an issue and reaching out for help is the first step towards feeling better.

Seeking connection is an integral part of being a human being. Often times our primary relationships with family members do not provide the connection that helps us feel the love and peace that we deserve. Through the therapeutic process, we can learn about how to seek relationships and connections that can bring this happiness to our lives. Sometimes this may mean creating boundaries with family members or friends or possibly ending those relationships we deem unhealthy. Through counseling, we are able to restore ourselves and our "families." This may mean our families of origin or simply the friends that we have chosen as our family .

My professional life has been consistently focused on serving people in need.
