I offer sophisticated psychotherapy to individuals and couples with warmth and compassion. Specializing in working with high-functioning professionals (physicians, psychologists, professors, lawyers, executives), you will receive my full attention and focus as I learn about you, understand why you feel, think and behave the way you do and help you gain deeper understanding of yourself and your problems. We can look at patterns in your thinking, behavior and way of relating to others that may be holding you back. I also offer psychological testing in order to gain deeper insight into your personality style.

The ideal client courageously seeks support to navigate challenges and pursue holistic well-being. The ideal client may be facing issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship difficulties, and they recognize the importance of addressing these challenges in a safe and supportive environment. Their needs revolve around finding effective coping strategies, building resilience, and cultivating self-awareness to navigate life's ups and downs more easily. Goals may include achieving mental and emotional balance, improving self-esteem, fostering healthier relationships, and discovering a sense of purpose and success.

Whether you are feeling “stuck” in general or have narrowly-focused goals, our work together will be a highly individualized, transformative experience that will result in lasting change. I work well with individuals who seek to break free from the same patterns or problems; however, most of the individuals I see don’t just have one “issue” and are motivated to explore various areas of their life to live more authentically. While I strongly believe in and exclusively use evidence-based treatments, my approach will help you become aware of your thoughts, open to your emotions, and more understanding of behaviors without judgment.

If you've found yourself at the center of a literal shi-storm, needing grounding, stabilization and a breath to process what just happened... than YOU are my ideal client! First- your past does not define your future. Second, I believe that everyone has the capacity for resilience and to work through whatever they have been dealt in life. Third, healing can look a million different ways- as we are all very different types of people. If you are looking for a non-judgmental, solution focused space to start the process to a renewed sense of self- you've found the right clinician!

I find inspiration in the strength and resilience I see in the work I do with my patients. Everyone has their own unique life story and worldview. These beliefs and values help establish ones character and value system. Throughout life, all people face challenges or barriers that can influence their mental health and alter one’s worldview. Vulnerability plays a key role in seeking out help and utilizing therapy to become more empowered and overcome these challenges. I believe the therapeutic process leads to restored hope, gained insight, confidence, and learning healthy ways to cope.

I specialize in a wide range of psychological evaluations. Most of these are related to the criminal legal system. I assess risk of recidivism and amenability to treatment for those charged with sexual offending, both in the adult and juvenile system. I evaluate for competency to stand trial and whether there is support for a plea of Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity. I use formal testing, actuarial predictive instruments, review of records, collateral information and clinical interview to formulate my recommendations. I also see therapy clients who seek a fuller understanding of who they are.

YOU CAN FEEL BETTER! Feeling stressed, anxious, depressed? Have troubled relationships? Do you struggle with your child's behavior, attitude or school achievement? Want MORE than talk therapy? My work is strength-based: let's find what is working and improve the areas that are not! In an easy-going and comfortable manner, I use brain science i.e. Brainspotting, Sensorimotor Therapy and Interpersonal Neurobiology (along with a sense of humor) to provide treatment of emotional and behavioral issues in adults, children, couples and families; including psychological assessments for both children and adults.

My practice is oriented towards helping men, young and old, face the challenges of being a man in today's world: learning to be emotionally intimate in relationships, balancing the demands of work and family, managing anger and other destructive impulses, learning to be a more involved and loving father, and finding one's true path in life. Beginning therapy is not easy for many men. I use my extensive experience in working with men to offer both the compassion and directness men need to find the courage within themselves to face these challenges.

I like to think I'm not the typical shrink and am often told, "You're not what I expected." That's a good thing. I'm sarcastic, will probably talk about smoking meats at some point, and love my Detroit Lions. As the owner of Thin Line Psychological Services, I work primarily with public safety employees. If that is you, then you already know the job takes a toll. Many clients contact me because they either see changes in themselves or changes have been pointed out by loved ones and they want to address them before things get worse. I work with a lot of clients dealing with burnout and feeling "flat" or unemotional when off duty.

At Phoenix Rising Counseling our goal is to provide a safe space for healing and open exploration of oneself. This is done through individualized treatment plans based on a clients needs and goals in counseling. The Phoenix represents transformation, death, and rebirth in its fire. As a powerful spiritual totem, the phoenix is the ultimate symbol of strength and renewal. As both a fire and solar symbol, the phoenix is symbolic of the sun, which “dies” in setting each night only to be reborn in rising the next morning. You are not alone in this journey. Let Us walk with you through the darkness into the light of who you are.

The emphasis of my clinical work is in pediatric assessments including neuropsychological evaluations. I specialize in providing individually-tailored, extensive examinations of symptoms, development, and functioning in order to better understand each child or adolescent. Thus, the goal is not to arrive at a standardized diagnosis, but to achieve a deeper insight into each person's distinct biopsychosocial makeup. The most enjoyable aspect of assessment work is being able to provide children and families with clarifying "ah ha" moments, in order to help them make better sense and successes of their lives.

As a clinical psychologist I strive to provide a transformative experience that not only resolves the symptoms and issues that brought you to treatment, but also develops deeper insight and awareness that promotes lasting change. I work to collaborate with you to develop a plan for continued growth that reflects your life-long plans, goals, and unmet needs. To that end, I strive to facilitate an experience for you of change in those aspects of your life that are most meaningful to you, including your inner world, relationships, spiritual beliefs, work life and world views.

I believe that personal change takes courage. As a psychologist, I feel that it is my responsibility to guide an individual through this path of change and growth. In my practice I generally use cognitive behavioral techniques and strategies to bolster my client's strengths and help them learn new coping skills in place of ones that have begun to falter. My approach is individualized to your needs and personal goals. I work in both short-term and long-term contexts depending on the patient's needs and preferences.

I utilize an existential-humanistic approach which goes beyond symptom reduction and helps with understanding and developing new ways to experience self, others, and the world. This approach encourages introspection, self-reflection, and assists an individual with increasing self-awareness, self-knowledge, and opportunities for choice where they once felt frustrated, stuck, and hopeless.
