Whether your search for a therapist stems from
- a specific crisis,
- a chronic long-term problem,
- a deep desire to live life more fully,
- or all three – take a look here.
Here is the kind of therapy you want, when therapy is what you need. I love my work, and have been doing it well 47 years now. My skills best represent the human side of the therapist’s art – caring, flexible and open, yet competent and professional.
Take a look inside this website. There’s a lot of information here to help you get to know me better and for your own use to enrich your life.
It represents help for you to accomplish that creative combination of
- what your heart desires, and
- what is right for you.

No Straight Paths in the Woods
There are no straight paths in the woods. That’s true of therapy. And that’s the way it should be. One can rarely see that far ahead, but one can dream it.
Into the woods – like so many beloved fairy tales (and like much of Michigan).
It can be a place to face things, maybe even fearful things, or perhaps a place to rest, relax, recount, explore, hunt, dare, and dream—a place for wonder and magic.
