I am a licensed clinical psychologist. I earned my PhD from the University of Detroit Mercy. Through my training I have worked with a wide variety of clients and a wide variety of issues bringing them to therapy. I really try to get a good understanding of the person and the goals they have in mind for themselves. I believe therapy should be collaborative. I have training to help the process, but each person is the expert on themselves.
I have training in many different modalities of therapy. I often get a feeling for the person's personality and goals in our initial session. From there I can chose the approach that may fit best for them. Often I incorporate more than one. I am very open to feedback, and want clients to talk me through how they are feeling about progress. if something is not working we can always find another approach.
I want clients to leave session feeling as if they have tools to help themselves through the week. I really want each person to gain more insight into themselves.Hopefully with time we can work together to meet the goals set at the beginning of therapy.
