My approach to therapy is goal-oriented and focuses on the entire individual and support system. I believe in a client-centered approach which considers each individuals' personality and background. I also focus my treatment with a cognitive approach which examines undesirable and destructive thought patterns. I am also a Certified Hypnotist/Hypnotherapist and see clients who seek to make changes using hypnosis (such as weight loss and smoking cessation).
I began working to help others at a young age of 17. I spent 7 summers during my education working as a counselor for adolescents at a summer camp. I pursued my desire to help people by completing my Bachelors Degree in Psychology and my Masters Degree in Counseling. I believe everyone has difficulties and struggles in life and we can all benefit for taking the time to improve ourselves which in turn provides the opportunity for a positive, well-adjusted and happy life.
I have 25 years of counseling experience and am currently the Clinical Director of an outpatient mental health facility in Taylor, Michigan (a suburb of Detroit). I am licensed in the State of Michigan as a Licensed Professional Counselor and I am also a National Certified Counselor. I am a certified Hypnotist/Hypnotherapist. I also perform hypnosis stage shows all over the country as The Motor City Hypnotist.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
