Areas of Practice

In addition, I have been trained to be a Mental Health Professional, working with attorneys in the Collaborative Divorce Model. Collaborative divorce focuses on maintaining healthy communication and dignity while going through the divorce process. I strongly believe that for the health of the family and children , it is important to work together in a productive, non-acrimonious way.

Previously, with regard to my own tapestry, I have worked at the Elm Street Clinic and Triad Mental Health Services in Birmingham Michigan. Prior to that, I worked at the Day Hospital at Sinai Hospital. I received my undergraduate training at the University of Wisconsin, and my graduate education at the University of Michigan School of Social Work and Simmons College School of Social Work.

​

In the community, I have been an advocate for mental health. I am on the Executive Committee of Kadima and have been on its board for many years. I was a Vice President of the Michigan Psychoanalytic Foundation, and I have developed and conducted bereavement support groups, pre-marital groups and workshops on strengthening your marriage.
