I specialize in working with individuals who may be experiencing some sort of transition or change in their lives. This may include issues related to work, depression/anxiety and/or sexual/gender orientation.

I utilize a 'coaching' approach which focuses on current issues and the creating of real-time strategies to address these issues. My clients are often focused on career issues, work/life balance and the search for an understanding of oneself more fully.
