For over 27 years I have been providing mental health services at my private office practice and now online-virtual therapy.
My approach to therapy is integrative. This means I rely on multiple therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Brief Therapy and others to tailor your therapy sessions to meet your personal needs based on your situation.
I am experienced treating addictions, OCD disorders, anxiety and panic disorders, depression disorders, coping with health related issues such as medication compliance, life style adjustment, emotional challenges coping with caregiving a loved one, chronic illness,personal development (improving your self esteem & confidence), relationship and intimacy issues, and grief and loss. I use the Gottman Method for couples therapy. Any one or a combination of the approaches I use will gently guide you through your personal journey toward change. Allowing you to feel emotionally stronger, empowered and confident to make healthy choices moving forward.
To start the process, I will complete an assessment of your situation.Together you and I will decide on your goals for treatment. I will give you tools and may assign you homework between sessions (worksheets and audio links). The completed assessment may identify that you are eligible for community resources. I will refer you for services that may help to improve your situation.
I prefer video sessions. You can reach me by phone, text or email. I use a very safe and private telehealth platform, Carepatron and Psychology Today which are HIPAA compliant
New clients can take advantage of the free 15 minute phone or video session to be sure online therapy is right for you.
• New clients can schedule an appointment by clicking the " new therapy request" tab, complete and submit the form. Once I receive it I will be in contact with you by your preferred method.
• Returning clients can go directly to the "Current Client Calendar" and secure an appointment that works best. You can also email, text or call me for an appointment.
• Clients who are also interested in an appointment with a psychiatrist can be referred to you to Brightside Medical-Michigan. This is an online telehealth portal where you can meet with a psychiatrist for an initial assessmen to begin medication treatment.
