I am here to support LGBTQIA youth and adults and those that love and support them. I work with all types of relationship structures and want to help people find out how to live their best life.

Feeling like you’re too much and not enough at the same time? Sometimes we experience things in life that cause us to harden; we end up having to create armor to walk through the world more safely. There's so much wisdom in that armor, in the ways we learn to protect ourselves. But sometimes that armor does not serve us; it gets in the way of truly living, and experiencing care and support from those we want to let in. Maybe you’re struggling with how past painful experiences are impacting your current relationships, possibly while struggling to even know who you are. We can’t change the past, but we can find a healing path forward.

My work is short term and solution focused. I draw on several therapeutic approaches, depending on the nature of the problem, including behavior therapy, family therapy and strategic therapy. I have a diverse background from 50 years of experience in the treatment of children, adolescents, and adults. I am expert in a number of psychotherapeutic approaches, including short-term solution-focused therapy, cognitive-behavior therapy, family-systems therapy, and psychoanalytic therapy. I developed an evidence-based wellness program with a positive psychology emphasis at the Ann Arbor VA Hospital.

I am a licensed psychologist as well as the clinical director of Sollars and Associates Integrative Counseling and Psychological Services. I have been providing counseling and psychotherapy for over 30 years in the Metro Detroit area and our group practice spans across the state of Michigan. With support, encouragement, and expert insight many people begin to feel better after their first session. Our therapists possess a great deal of experience in evaluating and working with children, adolescents, and families dealing with a variety of issues.

I'm committed to helping kids, adults and families experience greater enjoyment in their relationships and increased well-being and resilience at home, school, work and play. With the nervous system in mind, I help clients to increase their ability to cope with stressors. I address concerns about mood, attention, learning, behavior, and social and emotional development, and help families who are feeling stuck find new ways of relating.

Finding a therapist you can trust and comfortably work with is the best predictor of positive change in psychotherapy. I offer expertise and cutting-edge evidence-based therapeutic interventions that work for many complex problems? Stress management and problem solving? Collaborative accountability? Consistency and commitment? A clear and time limited strategy based on your unique needs? We strive to maintain these skills to individually tailor our approach to connect with and address what matters most to each person, while utilizing treatments with research support and the best likelihood of creating change.

Welcome to my profile...

"I believe the problem is not the person." I've worked in the Human Services area for 25 years before retiring. I made the decision to go into private practice because I really enjoy helping people. I've worked with several populations including, women, formerly incarcerated individuals, developmentally disabled, elderly, single parents with children and persons dually diagnosed with Substance Use Disorders. I've facilitated groups and worked with individuals.

It’s through connection that we find meaning and discover we are not alone. I love working with clients who are curious and ready for positive change. I use Internal Family Systems, EMDR and other evidence-based tools to help my clients navigate their own process of self exploration, resolve trauma, and move in the direction of healing and growth. I believe therapy is an opportunity to explore what is unsaid or undiscovered in our experience. We can learn to hold space for the parts of ourselves most in need of our love and appreciation so we can truly live our most fulfilled life.

Maybe you dislike reading these therapist profiles as much as I do. Regardless of what brought you, I’m here for it. I love journeying with people who are sorting through anything from small challenges, to big life struggles, to large system barriers.

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you’ve said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” -Maya Angelou. This quote had become my life motto, as it is so true, the way you have been made to feel by another is what can make or break any person. Adults who have experienced trauma, substance abuse, mental heath, emotional exhaustion, and life’s various curveballs deserve to be heard and treated in an environment that is understanding, empathetic, safe, stable, supportive, and non judgmental to begin their journey to heal.
