I am a psychologist specializing in personal growth and meeting life challenges head-on in a sensitive and meaningful way. After thirty years, I have learned a lot helping others navigate challenging circumstances. I work in a collaborative manner in order for you to get to a 'better' place and more effectively manage your life.
I have gained experience by helping others navigate challenges related to building families. I work with patients exploring 'good' solutions to this heart-rending process. I see patients confronting personal challenges to live their best lives. Open to a gratis 15-minute pre-consultation session.
My knowledge base culminates in a specialty in couple's counseling, reproductive medicine, child development, gamete donation, surrogacy and the everyday life challenges of evolving into a better self. My work does not end once a reproductive success is achieved but continues as I help families tackle issues of relationships, child development, and personal growth.
Having the specialized knowledge base involved in reproductive medicine and contemporary family building gives me a unique edge in helping families live healthy lives. Utilizing my professional training, life experience, and special expertise gives me a unique perspective in how to help others. Feel free to contact me for more information.
