Alignment With the Higher Self is the True Way to Health
Psychotherapy for Adults, Couples, Adolescents and Families.
Different than Other Therapists
I am not a normal therapist. I am told that I am gifted at being very intuitive and perceptive, so I catch on in a hurry and tend to give a lot of feedback rather than "uh huh and how do you feel about that?" I am able to break things down into easy-to-understand language so clients better comprehend their personal issues and ways to heal and to better manage their lives. This is communicated with warmth, compassion, and a sense of humor. I am very active with my clients.
Psychotherapy/Counseling
I have 53 years of experience in working with adolescents, families, adults, and couples. I am trained in a treatment for trauma called EMDR. Also, I operate out of a holistic perspective, having been trained in Transpersonal Psychotherapy, which blends psychotherapy and spirituality for those who wish to work on emotional healing from a mind/body/spirit perspective.
Adolescent/Children Counseling
Years working in the Oakland County Juvenile court and Federally Funded Drug Treatment Program for Adolescents have prepared me to have magic with teens and kids. My approach is systems-oriented, so I try to involve the parents and families in the child’s treatment to help form a team approach. Most kids, even hard-to-reach kids, seem to warm up to me as a therapist.
Family Counseling
Family Counseling is available to those who need help in solving problems in their family relationships. Getting everyone working together is my strength.
Group Therapy
Group Counseling is offered once per week for those who might gain from the active support and feedback available in a healing circle where there is no judgment but honest feedback and guidance.
My Approach
My style is to be warm, non-judgmental, and very active with clients instead of just a supportive listener. My authentic style and communication approach, bringing humor and technical skills together help bring the Transpersonal perspective to life for those who wish to optimize their own journey of healing and growth.
I am especially quick to catch on and tend to give a lot of feedback and information to enable clients to raise their awareness and to develop new tools to better manage their life.
