Hi!
I am a professional counselor licensed in the state of Michigan and certified in Michigan as a supervisor of limited licensed counselors working toward full licensure. I have worked in the human services field for 25 years and specifically as a therapist for the last 19 after procuring a Master of Sciences degree in Counseling from National Louis University in 2001.
I have had the honor to work with clients in non profits, Community Mental Health, Vanderbilt University Psychiatric and private practice. I have significant training and experience providing therapy for folks with family relational problems, depression, trauma(including adults with history of or present experience with sexual/ physical abuse or neglect, and domestic violence), ADHD, addictions and OCD. I have also worked with psychosis counseling and diagnosis/ referral to psychiatric assessment.
I believe in the importance of warmth, unconditional positive regard and developing a therapeutic bond based in trust and respect for counseling to be most effective. I utilize an eclectic approach based on an individuals needs and goals utilizing such therapies as Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavioral, Existential Based, Family Systems and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Please know you are doing the right thing and research reveals that simply taking actions to address our problems can lead to significant benefit in the process of healing. It is encouraging to know this is the case each time one takes this first step and I look forward to helping guide you through "your' healing process.

I’ve only been working with Kevin for a month, my first experience with a therapist after much push back, but have thoroughly enjoyed his demeanor and laid back but inquisitive approach to identifying what my goals are and how I can reach them with guidance. I look forward to learning more from Kevin and would highly recommend him.
