When you need help - and all of us need help sometime - you want to tell your story to someone who is warm and supportive. Someone who is intelligent, trained, and familiar with the problems you face. These problems may involve family or marital relationships, insecurity, anxiety, depression, loss, or grief. Or the problems may be specific to people undergoing divorce, immigrants struggling with American language and culture, or artists striving to make their mark. All of us want someone on our side who is caring and helpful, someone who can clarify and show the way. My goal is to be that person for my clients.
For 24 years, I have worked extensively with adults, couples, families, adolescents, and children. I create a warm, accepting atmosphere and help clients find solutions and identify their strengths and resiliencies. As a result of our work together, my clients are able to change and grow, to better accept themselves and to realize their goals.
My strengths include effective assessment and treatment, and cross-cultural therapy with individuals from diverse backgrounds. I am especially interested in divorce, loss, grief, and chronic illness. I also possess in-depth knowledge and experience with giftedness and with issues affecting musicians and dancers. I provide therapy in both English and French.
