Accepting Clients

My work is grounded in a humanistic belief: people are not problems to fix, but individuals shaped by history, relationships, and survival.

Clinical Social Worker in Ann Arbor, MI

About My Clients

I work best with thoughtful individuals who are ready to look honestly at their lives and relationships. Many feel stuck in patterns that continue despite their best efforts to change. Some are navigating anxiety, anger, or major life transitions; others want clarity about conflict or disconnection in their relationships. Together we focus on insight, responsibility, and meaningful change that strengthens relationships and supports a more grounded and intentional life.

My Background and Approach

Choosing a therapist is a personal decision, and many clients say they were drawn to my practice because of the perspective and presence I bring to the work. Depth of Experience With more than 40 years in social work, behavioral health, and relationship dynamics, I offer a depth of perspective that helps clients understand complex personal and relational challenges. Calm, Grounded Presence Clients often describe me as thoughtful, steady, and direct. I create a space where people feel respected, heard, and able to speak openly without fear of judgment. Insight, Accountability, and Change I believe meaningful growth requires both understanding and responsibility. Our work balances compassion with thoughtful challenge so that insight leads to real change. Understanding Relationships and Power Dynamics My nationally recognized work in domestic abuse intervention provides a unique understanding of relationship patterns, conflict, and personal accountability.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My approach integrates insight, accountability, and compassion to support lasting growth.
