Are you successful, yet sad & self critical? Are you stuck in circular fights with your partner? Do you feel blocked from living your best life? For 47 years, I have helped people remove the inner barriers that keep them from having what they truly want.
Many of my clients are functioning well in many areas of their lives but on the inside are struggling with emotional pain, conflict, loneliness - or have the sense that their lives lack meaning or purpose. They're seeking more fulfillment & inner harmony. Most have already done some personal growth or therapy.

Whether you are contending with many challenges, or feel ready to fly through the stars, I can work with you collaboratively to shape a life that fulfills your highest dreams, and maybe even soars beyond them.
I find that for most of us, we heal best when we can feel completely accepted without judgment or critique by another, and then learn for ourselves how to value the full range of our own emotions. By relaxing our self-control and increasing self-compassion, feelings can get unstuck and flow more freely, generating new vitality, action, and wonder.

I have four decades of experience coaching, mentoring and developing people from all walks and stages of life.
Many couples come to therapy feeling stuck in cycles of conflict or disconnection they can’t break on their own. Communication feels strained—partners may talk but not feel heard, or avoid hard conversations, leading to resentment. One or both may feel their needs for connection, trust, intimacy, or shared goals aren’t met. Over time, unresolved conflicts and unmet expectations create distance, leaving couples wondering how the relationship got off track and if rebuilding is possible.

Additionally, we provide educational counseling and IEP coaching to assist families in understanding the intricacies of the educational system and helping them work collaboratively with school teams for the benefit of their student.
Families have difficulty navigating the educational system for their struggling student. And secondly, no matter how well an evaluation report is written, it can be challenging for families to understand data and take actionable steps. We strive to make our reports and recommendations relevant and understandable, so that they are actionable.
