My ideal client is someone with a listening ear, with the courage to reimagine his/her life. Someone with dreams and a passion to realize them... Or maybe somebody broken and lost. Someone imperfect. Because that's real. That's being human. To quote a British philosopher: "I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts, some superhero, some fairy tale bliss... I want something just like this..."

My job is to help you understand you. What is your place in the world? What is going wrong (and right) with your experiences with friends, family, and work. Think of me like a life coach... except trained and licensed! :)

The world is chaotic. Your life does not have to be.
