I am a psychologist in practice in Bingham Farms, Michigan. I am very experienced in doing therapy with children, adolescents, and adults, in individual therapy and in marital therapy. I have provided empathic and professional therapeutic help for many patients over my 35 years in practice. When I work with children, I also work with their parents to help them to help their child. I also regularly perform psychological testing, including cognitive and personality assessment, and therapeutic and forensic assessment.

Please Stop Talking! Have you thought this about your past therapist? Have you wondered how they could try and help you when they did not stop long enough to get to know you? As a Clinical Psychologist in practice for 30 years, I have heard this complaint more than any other among my patients whom have previously been in psychotherapy. In my clinical practice I respect the patient as the expert on themselves and will work with you to bring out the insight, esteem, knowledge and coping strategies you had inside or were open to learning about.

The faces that we wear bear the stories that we live. A friend once said, "I am going to therapy to make peace with my face". In building this profile to invite you to my practice, I noticed how constantly facial expression changes. We change second-by-second. We mask our feelings. We hurt. Sometimes what is visible to others is different than all that we hope to hold within. Other times, a fleeting expression can tell a whole story without us ever making a sound. In the search for authenticity, both concealing and revealing become part of our lived experience. Are you searching for your authentic self? Feeling fractured? Need help?

Are you tired of searching for a safe place to share without being judged, criticized, or dismissed? We all want to be seen and heard. It's tough when we feel alone in our journey and have no one who will help us through the hard turns. Whether it's for personal, relational, and/or professional growth. My passion is to help individuals and couples work through the challenges that make them feel stuck.

Listening to what you say, and to what you don't say is very important to me. I am often told that talking to me was the very first time that a client had their feelings accepted. Helping others honor the unique perspective with which they see the world is the best way to enable a person to trust their feelings, to value their experiences, and to lead a richer life. I do believe that leopards can change their spots! I consult with psychotherapy and life-coaching clients in my office and also by phone across the country.

My clients describe me as someone who is loving, compassionate, and provides unconditional love. Clients explain feeling "at home" and appreciate the honesty in my approach.

Therapy at its best combines both insight and action. Understanding ourselves can provide a kinder and less judgmental frame of understanding how we got here. But this is not enough. Taking steps, both in life and during therapy to heal and make changes is essential for an effective and satisfying outcome. For these reasons, my approach to therapy combines the depth orientation of insight oriented psychotherapies and mindfulness with the action oriented aspects of cognitive-behavioral, behavioral and internal focusing techniques.

A professional therapist and so much more! When words are difficult to find, the ability to express ourselves through art is right at our fingertips. Best of all, there is an “artist” in all of us. I call it the intrinsic creative ability. Focusing on your art during counseling sessions results in more relaxation and less stress, anxiety and troubles. Consequently, your art makes room to discover the insights that heal and empower. Plus, it’s fun! Why does it work? Art therapy’s power lies in the process, not the end-product. Creating art is an enjoyable way to experience your personal power and safely visit your concerns.
