Adults Therapists in Ann Arbor, MI

Are you looking for help with the ups and downs of life? Identifying immediate emotional needs and exploring long term mental health goals are essential in maintaining good mental and emotional health. Just as every individual is unique, I believe therapeutic intervention is unique to the needs of my patients. I believe that achieving these needs involves both mind and body. I maintain a positive approach and employ mindfulness strategies, personally and professionally, to build strong therapeutic relationships.

Relationships are central to my work, whether it be the relationship between a child or adult and myself, or the complex web of relationships within a family. My training and experience in Infant Mental Health--a type of therapy focusing on the attachment relationship between a primary caregiver and and an infant or young child--permeates all aspects of my work.

My goal is to create an atmosphere where every person that enters my office feels it is a safe place to learn and grow. I honor the unique strengths that each individual already possesses while challenging them to grow and develop in other areas. While I encourage people to stretch beyond their comfort zones, I respect and accept each person where they are at in their growth process. I have 19 years experience as a Psychotherapist. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and couples. When working with children, I feel it is important to become a team with their parents.

As a therapist, I like to be collaborative with clients and pull from multiple modalities in order to meet them where they are at. This way we tend to have a path to go down, with strategies to try. Some of my specialties are working with Young Adults, and Adults going through life transitions (graduation, new job, moving, divorce, etc.), processing grief and loss, and addressing anxiety or depression. Showing people compassion during these times, and helping them to find the space to grow has been a big part of my practice.

“Life be lifing!” How often are we saying this to describe how hard life can be? Life can throw a lot at us that is challenging to manage. This can often leave us feeling overwhelmed, unsettled, inadequate, and/or stuck. We may not be able to specifically name the impact, but we know we aren’t feeling like ourselves, and our previous coping strategies aren’t helping to return to our “normal.” Taking a step back to reflect and gain awareness can be helpful to make progress. Sometimes we need a supportive person to listen, validate, provide insight, and a fresh perspective to assist in developing strategies that can help us flourish.

I am most qualified to treat people who are having problems in living fulfilling lives because of troubling symptoms (e.g., anxiety, depression) or general dissatisfaction with themselves and relationships. I believe my treatment approach contributes to personal growth at any age. My rigorous training, 10 years post-Ph.D. has qualified me as a Training/Supervising Analyst who treats other therapists, and supervises other therapists--psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers in their work with adults, children and adolescents. As a Certified Sex Therapist, I treat sexual and marital dysfunctions. As a child psychoanalyst, I treat children and work with parents in parent guidance.

As my client, you will be heard, understood, respected, and valued. Your challenges and concerns are important and are the focus of our collaboration.

My services are compassionate, clinically based, ethical, and confidential. I provide a safe environment, which balances supporting you and challenging you emotionally. My office is in a convenient Downtown Ann Arbor Location with reimbursed parking. Together we rediscover your assets, strengths, and accomplishments and utilize these in the present.

I believe that clients can achieve motivation and personal growth as a result of our work together, while feeling at ease and having an occasional laugh along the way. We all encounter numerous life transitions and challenges, some wonderful and welcome, others less so. These transitions can sometimes produce stress and anxiety, causing emotional turmoil. I assist clients by utilizing a positive, practical approach that promotes heightened self-awareness and the realization of greater personal fulfillment. We develop a path which meaningfully improves one's outlook and sense of well-being. A quality connecton between the client and counselor contributes to increased optimism and success.

Committing to the therapeutic process can be a challenging yet ultimately rewarding experience that can help in doing away with self-defeating behavior patterns and resolving inner conflicts. Most of us can point to a time in our lives when we were feeling overwhelmed with our current life circumstances and the distress that involves. Taking the courageous step of seeking out a therapist we can comfortably engage with can assist in identifying a clear path to change and provide the support one may need in pursuit of those goals.
