My experience as a psychotherapist spans 3 decades. In addition to being a psychotherapist, I have worked as an Institutional social worker, casemanager, substance abuse therapist and supervisor for a total of 50 years working in the social work field. My education includes a Bachelor’s degree in social work from Eastern Michigan University and a Master of Social Work degree from EMU. My most effective therapeutic modality is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I have practiced therapy in private clinics and in my own clinic, Counseling of Washtenaw. In addition to ACT therapy, I have studied and practiced CBT, RET, DBT and Psychodynamic therapy models in my practice.
