Let's face it. Life can be a real challenge. But it can also be an adventure. What is your life story so far? How can it be shaped going forward? Let's focus on those positive 'sparkling moments' and make the complexity of the overall situation be the focus of attention in a safe, secure, and empathetic environment.
I believe you are the best expert on who you are and where you should go. We will work collaboratively and creatively to tap into your strengths and competencies. We will purposefully tailor a unique but flexible therapeutic (or coaching) approach toward self-discovery and realizing your full potential. I am here to support you in that endeavor.
Specific expertise in the fields of music, science, film, journalism, writing and publishing, law, and healthcare in high pressure environments, including New York City, Los Angeles, and Washington, DC.
