There is usually ample street parking, as well as public parking lots across the street, and behind the building accessible from Third Street.

I only work with individual adults age 18 and up and don’t provide couples or family therapy. However, I have some great colleagues to whom I can refer you.

Yes, I accept Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (traditional and PPO), Blue Care Network, McLaren Health Advantage, and Magellan, as well as private pay.

Therapy is beneficial for people in a variety of situations. Therapy helps you sort out your emotions and behaviors so that you can live a fuller, happier life.

Most of us can benefit from some counseling; if you’re not happy, it’s time to give it a try.

Nope! Despite pop culture depictions of therapy, I only have chairs.

You don’t “have” to tell me anything. What you reveal about yourself is your choice alone. However, for therapy to be useful, you’ll need to tell me about what brought you to therapy.

It’s different for every client, but especially at the beginning, I usually recommend weekly sessions.

That’s also different for every client. We’ll figure out what’s right for you together. Rest assured, for most people therapy is a temporary thing – I don’t expect you to be in counseling forever.

So glad you asked!

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a technique for helping to reduce the painful impact of past traumatic or adverse experiences. Using coached eye movements and guided thoughts, you’ll approach traumatic memories or current difficulties from another angle. This can reduce their power and alleviate your distress.

No, not at all. EMDR isn’t appropriate for every person; and besides, you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to. If I think you may benefit, I’ll suggest it, but the choice is always up to you.
