You are your own expert. I am here to reassure, assist and guide you in overcoming the challenges you are facing. I have a passion for working with children and families by addressing problematic behaviors at home and/or school.

Do you find yourself always arguing with your child? Does it feel like your minds work completely opposite from each other? You all used to get along so well and now you feel so distant. Or maybe your child is struggling in school and you dread parent-teacher conferences. Maybe your child's friendships have changed in a profoundly negative way and you worry for your child. Growing up and becoming independent has never been more difficult for the younger generation, and I am here to assist your family in navigating these challenges.

I have worked with children,teenagers and adults for over 30 years. I provide a warm, friendly, and "human" environment for clients and their families within which we can work together to address the concerns and problems that are creating problems in everyday life. In today's environment, there are so many pressures on kids and their parents...school, friends, finances, jobs...and sometimes it seems overwhelming. Together we can find some solutions to make coping with life's stresses easier and more productive. Communication is a key factor, as well as developing strategies that help in managing those difficult situations.

I have experience working with adolescents and children as young as 4 years old, with a variety of Developmental Delays, Autism and Self-Regulatory issues.
I have always been amazed at the inherent healing qualities of art. By providing my clients with a safe holding environment, I pave the way to explore their concerns in therapy. Art has a way of quickly bringing issues from the unconscious into the conscious realm where they can be processed verbally or just witnessed. Art is wonderful for increasing tolerance of frustration, delay of gratification and learning to verbalize emotional states. I use all of the Expressive Arts to create individually tailored experientials to promote increased understanding and growth with my clients.

My practice is based in creating a therapeutic relationship that will allow me to support individuals, couples, children, parents, and families in overcoming the challenges they are facing.
We have all felt a lack of connection at some time, whether it is lack of connection with others or lack of connection with ourselves. It is common for this feeling to become more profound at specific times or due to certain experiences. This may include experiences with trauma, foster care and adoption, grief and loss, infertility, or unexpected circumstances or changes, such as divorce, challenges with children's development, illness/loss of a loved one, or changes in employment. My focus is in helping clients to develop a stronger sense of connection toward the goal of finding a new sense of meaning, acceptance, and fulfillment.

Even more so coming out of a pandemic. You might be sad, anxious, hurting yourself or isolating and want to change.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Royal Oak, MI provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Royal Oak build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
