I believe individuals are experts in their lives and hope to facilitate conversations where people can learn to navigate their own story. I'm passionate about working with anyone who is impacted by cancer , immigration, and first-generation American-related matters.

I believe relationships define each of us and form the foundation for our life. I work from a systemic perspective with couples, individuals, and families to create relationships that define not only who we are, but also who we desire to become. I help clients with their relationships, intimacy, connection, communication, and sexual compatibility. I work with a lot of women who have suffered from Narcissistic abuse in relationships and family of origin. I also help those who are confused in their current relationships. I enjoy helping women who have autoimmune disease and cancer redefine their sexuality, relationships and desire.

I specialize in couples therapy and marriage counseling for couples who find themselves in the midst of a crisis in their relationship.

Are you experiencing burnout? Do you over-book or overwork yourself, believing you have no choice? Do you prioritize other people's needs or problems before your own? Caring physicians, nurses, social workers, therapists, caregivers and parents need extra help in deciding how much they can offer and when to pull back to avoid burnout. You may need help if you are an adult child of an alcoholic or grew up in a chaotic or unpredictable home.

In the face of a life-altering medical diagnosis, our most fundamental assumptions about health, security, and control are challenged in an instant. Ideas about what the future holds are suddenly called into question, forcing a rushed reprioritization of every aspect of life. Previously solid ground now feels like you are teetering on the edge of a cliff. A life once familiar and routine becomes immediately unrecognizable through the lens of uncertainty. Isolation creeps in as you come to realize that those closest to you cannot begin to understand what you are dealing with.

Accepting new clients. In addition to psychotherapy for anxiety and depression, I also provide counseling and coaching to clients managing change in their lives and those seeking personal growth and insight. I help clients navigate challenges presented by relationships, career, and changes in their health status due to aging, illness or injury. I work with clients seeking enhanced motivation to tackle behavioral changes related to work and health. I trained as a psychotherapist after a long career as a lawyer and enjoy helping clients focus on pragmatic goals as well as the philosophical challenges that life presents.

Times of loss and transition can also present unique opportunities for growth and new ways of living your life. Sometimes, in fact, it can be the catalyst for a deeper and fuller life.

I believe we all thrive on healthy connections with others. Sometimes we need help repairing and facilitating our relationships. Sometimes we need to clarify what is working and not working in our lives.

I have a particular interest in working with people experiencing a Cancer Diagnosis, including partners, family members and caregivers.

Loss is common to the human experience. And yet, loss stemming from the death of a loved one or from a cancer diagnosis can be incredibly isolating and overwhelming.
