Summary
I am a clinical psychologist who has been in practice for 40 years and an Adjunct Associate Professor at University of Michigan Medical Center for 20 years. While my training was in traditional psychodynamic therapy, my current approach is more eclectic and Rogerian in its emphasis on empathic engagement with the client as the primary vehicle of change.
