I strive to ensure that all clients are able to find the resources for healing and change within themselves. I work to explore the importance of the client’s connectedness to the world around them and their perceived role in their current environment. I encourage and guide clients through their life choices while fostering an environment of freedom so they ultimately are able to choose who they want to become through the therapeutic process. I take a holistic approach throughout therapy, focusing on the many aspects of an individual that can become out of balance.

Our life's work is helping clients achieve a better sense of self and happiness...more recently we've recognized that without good mental health providers, finding this balance in life can be more difficult and stressful. As a result, we tend toward an Integrative approach and help our clients transform into the people they want to be. We see each client as an individual with many parts to their identity. Utilizing a holistic and systemic approach we help clients reintegrate the parts of themselves to function better as individuals and within their systems. Our focus tends toward a systems based approach using behavior methods.

Do you feel like life is chaotic, relationships are a mess, and things are seemingly not getting any better? You are not alone. It may feel impossible to move forward when struggling with depression, motivation, low self worth, boundaries, and dysfunctional relationships. During our time together, my hope for you is to feel comfortable to show up as your authentic and genuine self. I tell clients that I am human first and therapist second. It is my goal and priority to build a connection with you and to provide you with skills to become more present and compassionate in your healing journey.

I have been providing psychological and behavioral services in the Chicagoland and Grand Rapids, Michigan area for the last 14 years. In session I am empathetic and positive, working collaboratively with each client, in overcoming life challenges. Due to the vast amount of experience I have gained in both psychotherapy as well as behavioral modification, my therapeutic approach is diverse and can be non-directive, guiding the client at their own pace, or directive in nature. My goal is to assist each client to a happier, healthier, productive life, in a safe environment.

Many people go through times when they have trouble with even the simple tasks in life. Relationships, work, family and life purpose can become overwhelming at times. Imagine if you didn’t have to feel that way. Connect to your joy and sense of worth. Counseling is a conversation about thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and the collaboration between counselor and client to co-create goals for change. I will work with you to help you change the way you think and feel about yourself and the world. By exploring what you value we will collaborate to overcome the difficulty you have been facing.

I understand that each individual has their own unique experiences and struggles and it is essential to acknowledge their expertise in their own lives. I strive to establish a foundation of trust and connection by meeting clients where they are at in all aspects of their lives.

For 39 years, I have been passionate about helping people find freedom from personal struggles of depression, anxiety and marriage/ family problems. I treat first with natural alternatives rather than medications. I also specialize in Attention Deficit Disorder and I am a parent of an adult child with ADHD. I personally know the challenges and victory in helping someone with ADHD live their life successfully. I am viewed as the Sherlock Holmes doctor since I work with the most difficult to diagnose cases and help to crack the case of what is causing a person to struggle.
