Great to meet you!

I have been working with individuals of all ages, couples, and families for well over 3 decades; ever since obtaining my Ph.D. from Michigan State University. And I still love what I do, which I describe as a collaboration with my clients for their peace of mind, good health, and happiness. We talk about all sorts of things weighing heavy on their mind and together find an acceptable approach to move through the issues being dealt with.

My approach to therapy

I have an eclectic approach to therapy as I do not believe it’s a ‘one size fits all’ situation. I listen to you; what is within your wheelhouse to consider comfortably, and what might stretch you a bit but not overwhelm. We look at both options and things in between...

What you can expect from me

I want you to experience being in a safe space where you are listened to and respected; I want you to feel you can try on some new ways of being; feel you are empathized with; and deeply valued and cared about. In this setting you may be able to experiment with how you are you; approach things or reflect on things with a shift that feels different; risk in ways that challenge you to grow inwardly and outwardl; be a larger version of who you are.
