About My Clients

I enjoy working with clients experiencing a life transition. New parents may discuss the balance between demanding careers, raising a family, and maintaining their own identities. Adults may take a step back and reexamine old patterns that are no longer serving them.Couples may identify and interrupt unhelpful cycles. Families may foster effective communication and flexibility as individuals change and grow. Teens may explore shifting identities and values as they build indepence.

My Background and Approach

I use a variety of theoretical orientations including humanistic and existential (considering what matters and creates meaning for each of us), psychodynamic and attachment-based (examining how our early experiences may impact our patterns today), and post-modern (taking into account the ways the systems in which we live affect our human experiences).
