Psychotherapy can help. At its heart, psychotherapy and counseling are about listening ~ And you, feeling truly heard in a new, and refreshing way. As a therapist and counselor I strive to listen with compassion and interest, in order to help my clients hear their own voice. Understandings gleaned from what you've shared in sessions reflected, offer you possibilities for greater self understanding, change, fresh insights and new direction. The therapy relationship serves as a catalyst for the positive changes that you seek.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I offer an open, conversational, and professionally directed approach to individuals and couples seeking therapy for issues including depression, anxiety, and obsessive behaviors, as well as sexuality, broken relationships, and life transitions. The therapeutic relationship is used to help you learn new ways of understanding yourself and others. Throughout our conversation, we will work to understand areas of conflict and difficulty in new ways allowing you to make clearer decisions with more confidence and grace. As a versatile clinician, I enjoy working with all people.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I welcome patients' stories and enjoy helping them find their own courage, core strengths and desires. As a seasoned psychotherapist doing therapy in Ann Arbor some 35 years, it still is a privilege to witness a patient's process as they discover how to express their truest selves. I love this work and consider it a great gift to be invited to witness your work and to work with you in your process toward health and happiness.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I'm a versatile clinician after 35 years and enjoy working with a broad variety of people and clinical issues. I've had extensive training and experience in a range of approaches, including psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), family systems and interpersonal therapy, and recognize that psychotherapy is most effective when it embraces the unique challenges faced by each individual. As a mental health counselor in Ann Arbor, I'm flexible in my approach and guided by what would be the most effective treatment in light of each client's specific needs.
