Areas of Specialization:






    My Practice:

    I have been practicing Clinical Psychology in Farmington Hills since 1994, treating
    children, adolescents, and adults in a private office.  My practice is nearly evenly
    divided between child and teen (53%) and adult patients (46%).  Though I treat
    mostly individuals, I always consider the individual within the context of their
    family, their culture, and their community.

    I work with a wide range of people and a variety of presenting problems, however I do
    specialize in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders, Gender Identity Disorder and
    Seasonal Affective Disorder.

    About 20% of patients begin therapy with me specifically because of my
    specialization in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.  Roughly the same number
    come to me because of my expertise with gender variance and sexual orientation.

    Forty percent of the people I see reside in the surrounding communities of
    Farmington Hills, West Bloomfield, Novi and Bloomfield Hills - though some come
    from places like White Lake, Milford and Ann Arbor.

    I am Fully Licensed by the State of Michigan, and all treatment is confidential.
