My experience with children and adults has included clients of various ethnicities and addressed a range of mental health issues including, depression, anxiety, autism spectrum disorders, schizophrenia, trauma, interpersonal relationships, grief and loss, relationship problems, and life skills, to name a few. My former career in Corporate America for over 12 years provided an opportunity to work with teams, grow and advance by devoting long hours to meet deadlines, and kept me grounded by enduring layoffs. I consider myself curious, well travelled, fascinated by the cultures of the world and an avid reader.

I invite an open, authentic relationship with my clients. I believe it is the trust developed in this relationship between client and therapist that helps the client examine inhibited issues and biases, identify practical solutions to their problems, and progress towards deeper wisdom. My role as a therapist lies not in solving problems but in properly framing them. And I address these concerns from my client’s perspective; their unique worldview. Like, any learning experience, therapy involves failures. But when the emphasis is on learning, setbacks can be tolerated long enough to acquire good strategies, gain skills and confidence.
