Since 1983, I have enjoyed working with a wide variety of adults, adolescents, and couples in my Ann Arbor clinical practice. My psychotherapy work emphasizes the needs of the individual. I have an educational background in psychodynamically oriented psychotherapy, but I try to adapt my work to the particular situation and person before me. Different people respond to different approaches, though all people benefit from careful and respectful listening. I like to work with people from different backgrounds and cultures and with people with a wide range of goals and circumstances.
My office is in downtown Ann Arbor, at 202 E Washington (the corner of Washington and Fourth). My office is a modest sized, comfortable environment that offers a variety of seating and natural light. I am reached at 734-995-0416. I return calls quickly whenever possible.
I have a BA from the University of Michigan Honors Program, graduating Phi Beta Kappa, and an MA and PhD from the University of Michigan. I have published five psychology books and two novels. The psychology books are Disgust: the Gatekeeper Emotion, Shame in Context, The Shame Experience, Emotions of Menace and Enchantment and When Parents Have Problems: a book for teens and older children who have a difficult or disturbed parent. Charles C. Thomas recently published a third edition of the book for young people.
I am happy to answer questions from prospective clients by email or phone.
11/20 I recently produced a podcast with psychologist and creativity researcher, Doug Wheeler. The topics are my work as a psychotherapist and my writing, both fiction and non-fiction. https://fromthebelly.podbean.com/e/episode18/
