Welcome

I am a fully licensed clinical psychologist in Birmingham, Michigan, providing treatment for children, adolescents, and adults. The reasons for seeing a psychologist vary widely. The most common are complaints are depression and anxiety, often related to the sometimes overwhelming stresses of today's busy world.

My role as a psychologist is to help people solve problems that are interfering with their daily lives. Through counseling, I aid you in assessing your strengths and developing your optimal potential. I help you clarify your current problems and then discover ways to best cope with them. And I assist you in changing self-defeating behaviors and making positive choices.

In my private practice, I work with individuals, couples, and families. Treatment is unique for each patient and depends on your needs and goals. The philosophy that guides my practice is the unwavering belief that people have a limitless potential to heal and grow. It is my goal to help you recognize and realize your abilities. Positive change occurs through the collaborative relationship between psychologist and patient.

I provide individual, couples and family psychotherapy.  I also conduct psychological assessments for children and adults, including IQ testing, educational testing and personality testing, along with ADHD evaluations.  Other services I offer are Life Coaching, Parent Coaching, and Sports Psychology.

My video, "What is Psychotherapy?" provides an introduction to the therapy process.  If you are new to psychotherapy, it may be helpful.  In addition, I have included articles and videos regarding common mental health issues that many people experience.  I regularly update my blog, "Psychology Matters," where I comment on psychology in the news and in practice.
