Client needs are my FIRST priority. I am a specialist in evidence-based treatments (EBT), which radically improves my client's success rates, increases effectiveness of treatment, and gets results quickly. The majority of my client's report improvements, within the first session: life-functioning (work- home-school-relationships) and report immediate reduction in symptoms. Reducing anxiety/panic, decreasing depression, developing stronger coping strategies to stress and balancing mood dysregulation are my specialty, as symptoms can result from adjustment challenges to sudden life changes: parenthood/divorce/grief/college. We collaborate on thinking traps, tracking triggers, modifying behavior, successful coping skills and strengthening resiliency.

In life, you may often feel you’re stagnant, in the same repetitive cycle. You feel stressed and overwhelmed with responsibilities. Your direction seems unclear, and you’re uncertain how to reach the next chapter. You may be an overachiever who strives for perfection yet, are exhausted at the end of the day. You feel as if no one understands your inner thoughts and experience difficulty living up to the expectations of others. You fear being judged, causing you to distance yourself for fear of rejection. You have troubled relationships with others, due to not having the time or energy to socialize or fear saying the wrong thing.

You have been questioning yourself and are unsure how to move forward. You may feel disconnected and struggle to manage and overcome difficulties or achieve life goals. Ignoring your intuition and gut feelings to please others causes: attachment to ideas, people and possessions. You are done making yourself fit into boxes and have outgrown other's expectations.

Life presents all of us with challenges and difficulties. Some are obvious, some less so. Sometimes we only know that we're struggling without being able to put our finger on why that is. I don't believe you need all the answers to start your journey to overcome the obstacles that you face. The starting point is the desire to improve your relationships, family, and career. Therapy provides a supportive environment where you can learn to cope with existing distress and learn to address the needs that will help increase the quality of your life and relationships.

I have been a practicing clinical psychologist for over 40 years and have specialized in the treatment of eating disorders for the past 35 years. I have maintained a practice in the Detroit area since 1988. Although I maintain a generalized (mixed) practice, I find treating individuals that are struggling with eating disorders a challenging and rewarding endeavor. The behaviors of eating disordered individuals are very similar but the issues behind the disorder are unique to each person.

Drug Abuse Therapists

How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?

In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.

How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?

Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.

How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.

Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?

There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
