• Approach
  Change can be difficult. I strive to help clients discover and develop their own personal resources to reach the goals we set together. I am an active psychotherapist and seek a collaborative relationship within which both client(s) and therapist are committed, open, and involved. Through counseling or psychotherapy individuals can generate here-and-now coping strategies and resolve past wounds. My approach may be considered eclectic or integrative because I employ a variety of techniques, including cognitive-behavioral methods, to help clients eliminate emotional and behavioral barriers to the personal growth they desire.
  

Education & Background
I am a fully licensed psychologist in Michigan with over 30 years of clinical experience. I hold a doctorate from the University of Illinois (1978).  Prior to establishing my private practice in Kalamazoo in 1989, I provided psychological services in community and private practice settings in Illinois, Michigan, and Nebraska.  I also have directed child, adolescent, and family mental health programs.  I am a member of national and state psychological associations, as well as professional organizations for learning disabilities, ADHD, headache, and OCD.
