My Approach to Helping

I have helped individuals and couples for over twenty years, improving their self-esteem, relationships, and finding wholeness, balance, and more joy and creativity in their lives. You may not know the cause of your problem, anxiety or depression. You may wonder where your passion went, or don't have the time, focus, or energy to accomplish your goals. Perhaps your relationship isn't working, or you feel like you're not living YOUR life?

Whatever the problem, you don't have to solve it alone. Clients experience relief when they understand what's going on and take steps to enrich their lives, relationships, and achieve their aspirations. As the song goes, together, we can work it out.

My approach is personal, unique to each individual or couple, aiming to improve self-awareness, self-esteem, boundaries, communication skills, and tools for change.

I help people achieve greater fulfillment, autonomy and intimacy. I also treat stress, anxiety, depression, and loss, and people affected by abuse and addiction. I've worked extensively in addiction rehabilitation, and mediated divorces and custody in Conciliation Court. Formerly a lawyer, I also understand career pressures and transitions.

My approach is psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral, sometimes utilizing dream interpretation, visualization, gestalt, meditation, and hypnosis. I'm an emotional intuitive
and experienced in spiritual healing. I've helped many through crises, trauma, and illness.
