"As a psychotherapist, I work with individuals and couples addressing issues such as relationship stressors, self-esteem, stress management and self-awareness.

My approach looks at problems within a relational context, not as problems that lie within the person. I will explore risks and challenges, as well as strengths and resources, to assist individuals and families in managing the particular issues they are facing."
