Family Therapy in Rochester Hills, MI

As a licensed psychotherapist, I have experience working with a variety of issues. I believe that change happens when an individual experiences the therapeutic relationship as safe and nonjudgmental. This allows individuals to develop a voice and be heard. I support my clients in accessing their innate motivation to change while assisting them in re-evaluating patterns of thought and behavior that inhibit personal growth. I have been trained in therapeutic practices that are shown to be effective in helping clients to reach their personal goals.

At our practice, we have created an inviting and comfortable environment in which clients and professional staff can collaborate to address a number of presenting concerns. We are trained in a variety of evidence-based treatment methods that have been developed and rigorously researched by some of the world's leading experts. Our measured, thoughtful approach to assessment and treatment planning help to ensure that all clients are presented with treatment options that are well-suited to meet their needs. You and your therapist will partner to develop a customized plan to help you achieve an optimal treatment outcome.

I believe that seeking therapy is a sign of courage and strength. By attending therapy, you may get clarity on difficult issues, obtain objective feedback, and develop individualized solutions that work for you and/or your family. As a licensed clinical psychologist, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment and work collaboratively with you and/or your family to meet your goals.

I am a trauma and attachment trained therapist. My focus is families dealing with early childhood attachment and trauma due to foster care, international adoptions, or other significant traumatic childhood experiences. I also see adults that have suffered trauma and attachment during childhood.

The Mental Fitness CREW: Center for Resilience, Empowerment, and Wellness, provides an integration of evidence-based treatment modalities (such as CBT, ERP, EMDR & DBT), along with collaboration with physicians and community resources to holistically support all clients with mental, physical & environmental challenges, so they can increase internal Resilience, expand external Empowerment and achieve overall Wellness.

With over 30 years of experience, I am a seasoned practitioner who works effectively with a wide range of clients. My work is based on my view of people as embedded in multiple contextual relationships (family, work, school, friends, etc) any of which can be out of balance. This instability can be the result or cause of a disturbance in one's inner balance. I can help you gain a better understanding of your personal contexts and help you achieve greater balance, stability and happiness. My practice includes work with adults, adolescents, children, couple and families.

A call for therapy is placed because some area of life is just not working. As a psychologist, my focus is on assisting each individual, couple or family in working towards and reaching the goals that brought them in. Together, we identify the nature of the challenges being faced and work together to get life back on track. I practice as a family psychologist, working with whomever comes into my office. Each one of us is part of a bigger circle and thus the work also focuses on those with whom the person works or lives, as relevant.

Coming to therapy can be terrifying. I strive to create a warm office environment that feels relaxed and safe. The relationship between therapist and client must first feel comfortable so we can build trust and respect for one another. I approach each client as a unique individual and try to find holistic solutions for problems. Let's work together to figure out a plan that works for your life and your family.

As a marriage and family therapist, my goal is to create a warm, safe environment in which to help you uncover your true potential by resolving challenges in your life that may be brought on by past, current, or up-coming circumstances. By applying Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman, and other complementary therapy approaches, we will unearth behavioral and emotional patterns that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling life. See my website for more details.

Life has its fair share of ups and downs and despite your best efforts, the old ways of approaching life's challenges may no longer work. Seeking professional help can be difficult, but as a fully licensed and nationally certified counselor, my goal is to create an encouraging, safe, trusting, and compassionate environment where you can begin to heal. Discovering new ways to think about your past, your current challenges, and your future, can reduce stress, improve health, enhance relationships and increase self-esteem. When paired with setting goals and implementing new behavioral skills, personal growth is MORE than achievable!

You wake up in the morning and wonder if today is the day you'll be exposed and your mask fill fall off. You're twisting and turning on the inside. Everything inside you hurts. Your head is spinning with thoughts of what your life should be like. The voice's inside your head keep telling you you're a failure as a person, as a partner, and as a parent. You feel the the "weight of the world" pushing down on you. You're tired. You're tired of being tired. You are ready to reclaim your life. You are ready to make a change.

Caring and strength-based counseling allows families, kids, and parents to rediscover old strengths, learn and develop new ones, all of which make it possible to walk a different path, away from problems and towards new pleasures. I can help you experience greater mastery and back in control of your life. We can handle a lot, but sometimes one extra stressor or life-changing incident throws us off balance. Then we feel anger, anxiety, and/or depression. Adding insult to injury, these negative emotions further stress us out, making it harder to find solutions and regain our balance in life.

"The struggle you're in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow." I'm passionate about working with adults and couples who are seeking to overcome life challenges and live a fulfilling life. I strive to create a supportive, safe, and non-judgmental environment that encourages insight and self-awareness and enhances the self-discovery process. I will empower you to make positive changes in your life that increase personal connections and help you to feel hopeful about the future.

Fighting in circles without resolution? Struggling to communicate or feel understood? Arguing or shutting down? Feeling disconnected and sad or scared? Relationship struggles are common. Low desire, affairs, and trust violations are symptoms of deeper relationship problems. Couples therapy with a specialist can make all the difference. I like helping people get down to business so they can understand and correct problems at the core. Clients love my genuine, straightforward approach and learn a lot in sessions. They leave feeling safe, with increased hope, and tasks to work on to improve their lives and achieve their goals.
