Young adults often come to me seeking help with relationships, career issues, marriage, & parenting. Those in mid-life, having established a career and raising a family, are often concerned with making meaning out of the second half of life. Those in their sixties and beyond come facing grief, loss, & end of life issues.

My style stems from my belief that the client's own internal knowledge, strength, and commitment to change is what ultimately holds the power. Relational Gestalt therapy highly informs my clinical work and therapeutic style.
