In a career that spans three decades in social work, I have developed a proven and unique approach to individual, family and marital counseling. My passion has always been working with children and families. After serving for more than 25 years in the Northville Public School system, I have become well versed in a variety of individualized treatment techniques The common thread that runs through all of those different scenarios is compassion and a willingness to listen. A therapist's job isn't about the therapist imposing his views. It's about the client. It's about you.
My specialty area is children and adolescents with a strong focus on working with all types of families. I have experience working with individuals who are struggling with depression and anxiety. Parents are viewed as an integral part in the treatment process. I love seeing families become happier and healthier with support.
I have a significant background in working to improve the social skills of children and adolescents. I have developed, a structure skills intervention lesson plan,to work with children and adolescent- who are struggling to make social connections.
