I have been a practicing psychologist for over four decades and I truly love my work. 
I enjoy seeing my patients grow and flourish. 
I try to help people to find their hidden strengths and to build on them to achieve their life goals.

Approach Description

My work is short term & solution focused. I draw on several therapeutic approaches, depending on the nature of the problem, including behavior therapy, family therapy & strategic therapy. 
I have a diverse background from 50 years of experience in the treatment of adults and families. I am expert in a number of psychotherapeutic approaches, including short-term solution-focused therapy, cognitive-behavior therapy, family-systems therapy, and psychoanalytic psychotherapy. 
I developed an evidence-based wellness program with a positive psychology emphasis at the Ann Arbor VA Hospital.

 
I use a web-based system (MyOutcomes) to evaluate therapy outcome.  My success rate as measured by this tool is 83%.

I specialize in the treatment of:

• anxiety and mood disorders

• autistic spectrum disorders

• obsessive-compulsive disorders

• anorexia nervosa

• insomnia
