I am particularly effective in working with bright and highly sensitive teens. During this pandemic, I believe that our most perceptive, sensitive adolescents are having the biggest mental health challenges with not seeing friends, family , and teachers on a more regular basis.

Relationships can be hard. Partners struggle with communication, conflicting parenting styles, sexual expressions... Life's challenges, hurtful fights, history of trauma or infidelity make it difficult to sustain trust and closeness. How can you create desired connections, and not lose yourself in the process? How can you be true both to self and to your partnership? I invite you to explore these questions together with empathy and curiosity, letting go of habitual judgments, self-deprecation, and shame. I work with individuals, couples, and families. Both traditional and alternative lifestyles are welcome, and no issue is a taboo.

My passion is to be a guide to help you with whatever life issues you are struggling with, and to be a source of support to you as you learn the coping skills needed to overcome these often overwhelming difficulties life has a tendency to throw our way. I am passionate about meeting my clients where they are at.

I work with a wide range of clients. Those confronting transitions, relationships problems, career concerns, addictions, student concerns and other challenges.

I help my clients understand concessions they may have been made in their original family enabled adaptation, but may later interfere with their fulfillment.
