I usually get to the heart of the matter quickly and then help find creative solutions tailored to your specific needs. My clients describe being in therapy with me as being involved in ‘deeper work.’ Sometimes the life disruption you are experiencing may be the beginning of an evolution toward a new stage (yes adults can still evolve to higher stages). I enjoy working with my clients to get to the root problems and then find solutions that are transformative. I have been working with individuals, couples, and families since 1985. Because of my professional interests, I work with many business owners and executives. I am a licensed psychologist. I am also an Entrepreneur in Residence and Honorary Teaching Fellow at Lancaster University Management School in England. I have published articles related to marriage therapy and family business. I was the director of a Post-MSW Certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy for Wayne State University’s Grand Rapids program and I also directed the Family Owned Business Institute at the Seidman College of Business at GVSU. I am a Clinical Fellow with the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy.
