Welcome.
Whether you're searching here because you're having specific symptoms that concern you, you're dissatisfied or disillusioned, you're wanting to learn more about yourself, you're struggling, or for many other possible reasons, I hope that what you find here can be of help.
I'm a fully-licensed clinical psychologist in Ann Arbor, Michigan, who provides both short-term and long-term therapy for individuals 18 and up from a contemporary psychodynamic perspective and an integrative perspective. I also hold a temporary license in Washington state and provide teletherapy to residents there. The way I work has to do with thinking about the important people to you in childhood, how your sense of self has developed, how you might protect yourself from feeling some emotions by expressing others instead, how you relate to the people in your life as well as to me, and how you experience the world through your own personal lens. I also give attention to the context of your past and current environment, including the broader socio-political-cultural environment, and how it might be affecting you. Everyone has a story to be told, and I believe that providing a space where your story can be heard, understood, and reflected upon is a vital aspect of therapy.
What that means for you as a client is that therapy with me will be individualized and personal. I will consider your symptoms not to be problems that I'll tell you how to solve. Instead, I'll think of them as problems that we can learn to understand together as having meaning and origins and reasons for existing. We will examine and explore the "why," not just the "what, when, where, and how." Healing, change, and symptom relief from this perspective occur through insight and growth from the inside-out.
Though I work primarily within a psychodynamic framework, I'm also experienced
in cognitive-behavioral therapy as well as in using an integrative mixture
of therapeutic approaches. I'm a culturally sensitive therapist who values and respects people of all abilities, races, ethnicities, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities. In addition to working with adults in general, I have a specialty in working with undergraduate and graduate students.
Although no list or diagnosis can adequately capture the complexity and uniqueness of someone's own personal story and experiences, some of the areas for which I provide therapy include anxiety, depression, relationship/relational difficulties, grief and loss, life transitions, stress, and eco-anxiety, eco-grief, and related feelings.
