Family Therapy in Michigan

My clinical work is focused exclusively on psychological/neuropsychological assessment and intervention for children, adolescents, and adults. A thorough assessment seeks to understand, diagnose, and classify to be sure; however, the ultimate benefit is providing a manageable and effective intervention plan that leads to relief from distress and an increased capacity to engage fully in one's life. I would be pleased to meet you for a consultation, so that we may discuss your or your child's situation and have you receive a more detailed sense of my approach.

Most of us act with the best of intentions and don’t always get the results we were expecting. As a counselor, my role is not to tell a client what to do, but rather to help clients examine what their goals are, different ways goals can be achieved, and to provide supportive and honest feedback through a therapeutic relationship. I have lived in and around very diverse communities throughout my life, and I take pride in understanding and honoring everyone’s unique culture and beliefs.

When facing challenges, it is difficult to make sense of what it is going on around you. These challenges may impact your relationships with your friends or family, affect your career, or even alter the way you view yourself. During these times, it is important to understand how a therapist can assist you.

We will work together to identify the source of your discomfort and unmanageability and then identify tools to move forward. Once we have identified the problem, we can work towards a solution. I am very solution focused in my approach and enjoy working with individuals who are ready to make sustainable change.
