I am licensed and practicing in Michigan as a Limited Licensed Psychotherapist, which is a master’s level psychologist.
Selection of approach and technique is based on what is most useful to you and your situation. Our work is interactive and collaborative.
I have training in a wide range of techniques and approaches such as, but not limited to:
- mindfulness therapy
- solution focused therapy
- narrative therapy
- cognitive-behavioral therapy
- family systems,
- a variety of techniques for couples therapy,
- gestalt therapy
- transactional analysis
- dialectical behavioral therapy
In addition:
- I am trained in and interested in a variety of body practices.
- Spiritual practices can also be useful even if you describe yourself as non-religious.
- The enneagram also informs my work with clients.
- I am very interested in building resiliency.
- I practice trauma-informed as well as person-centered therapy.
My approach is also informed by my personal experiences as well as those of my clients.
Education
Selection of approach and technique is based on what is most useful to you and your situation. Our work is interactive and collaborative.
I received my master’s degree through the Center for Humanistic Studies, renamed Michigan School of Psychology.
My undergraduate degree was in Sociology- Anthropology with an undergraduate sequence in Social Work. I feel that my undergraduate degree provided me with a good understanding of how social-economic factors and culture impact so much of how we see ourselves and how we approach our life. My graduate degree helped me to understand how to work with the human who is sitting with me in session.
