Kink-Knowledgable Therapist with Experience in Chronic Mental Health Problems

My focus is on helping people work through difficult times and/or start/continue moving their lives in a positive direction. I want to help you discover patterns and behaviors that have been holding you back, and build skills to make your life better in future! I provide individual, group, and relationship therapy specializing in working with LGBTQIA clients, polyamorous clients, clients in the kink/BDSM community, clients seeking DBT treatment, as well as clients struggling with mood disorders (depression, bipolar disorder), personality disorders (borderline personality disorder), substance use, and/or thought disorders (schizophrenia/psychosis). I have a Certificate in Sex Therapy and am a member of CARAS. Currently, I am only providing therapy via online methods. I am on sabbatical working on some writing projects and speaking engagements, and as such will be traveling around the country a bit. I still maintain a Michigan Social Work license, however, so most any BCBS-related insurance will pay for treatment with me. The program I use for therapy is called VSee. It works a lot like Skype or FaceTime, but it is HIPPA complaint. Regarding payment--as I mentioned, I am on-panel with most Blue Cross, Blue Shield insurance plans, though it's a good idea to check your coverage before an appointment. Making the decision to seek treatment is the first step. I would love to work with you to help make the life you want to live more possible.
