The reason clients return time after time, and year after year, is due to the fact that I've made it a priority to build a strong connection with them. I listen, I guide them when they ask, and I'm very honest with my feedback. Simply, they trust me. Nothing could be more important to me or to them.

In my private practice, I work with individuals, couples, and families. I also advise families, who own large family enterprises, in areas of governance and communications. I facilitate workshops on many issues, including eating disorders; identification of personal values; relationships; and many other topics.
I work with clients who seek support in the following areas: anxiety and stress; depression; self-esteem issues; eating disorders; family issues; grief and bereavement; mid-life issues; relationships; parenting; and separation and divorce.
I’m committed to providing the highest level of service to all my clients, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, politics, ethnicity, or nationality.
