ADHD Therapists in Walled Lake, MI

Making the choice to attend therapy can be a challenging decision. It is my privilege to help you through your struggles and to succeed through life's many challenges. It is my goal to build a therapeutic alliance with you by creating a safe and supportive atmosphere where you can express your feelings. I strive to provide an empathetic, understanding, and nonjudgmental environment.

I have been in practice as a Psychotherapist for over 25 years working with adults, children, and adolescents, as well as families and couples. My aim is to help my clients address important issues in their lives and find new ways to make meaningful changes. I have worked in hospital settings, as well as outpatient mental health clinics. My clinical experience includes the treatment of mood disorders, depression/bipolar disorders, anxiety, anger management, family and marital relationship issues, grief and trauma, school difficulties, ADHD, and behavioral problems. I coordinate care with physicians, schools, employers, and the legal system and can administer the MMPI as needed.

We start therapy due to situational stressors or an ongoing stressor, such as mood disorders, anxiety or depression. I have been providing guidance, coaching and understanding for over 9 years. Our brains as well as our bodies are complicated yet amazing!

My role, as a therapist is to support each client in learning how to listen and properly respond to their mind/bodies on a daily basis.

In my personal and professional experience, I have seen therapy change lives. I recommend therapy for anyone, even those not in crisis. My practice is person-centered. I believe therapy is a conversation, and comfortability with your therapist is key. In my previous career as a television producer, I had to rely heavily on my communication skills, which feed directly into what I am doing now with my clients. Communication and understanding are the backbone of my therapy practice. I do individual sessions with kids, pre-teens, adolescents, adults, and work with families, and couples.

I believe in empowering clients through hands-on activities and goal-driven communication. I have a passion for Individual, Couples and Family therapy.
