About My Clients

In my private practice, I treat expats adjusting to life in a foreign culture with a focus on problems in relationship,depression, stress and anxiety symptoms to trauma survivors, work/life balance, divorce and separation as well as grief and loss. Across all of these specialties, I work closely with people striving to actualize positive changes in their lives.

My Background and Approach

With a background in Clinical Social Work and a psychodynamic orientation, my approach is client-centered, relational and solution-focused with a foundation in depth work so that positive change may be attained.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in radical kindness, compassion for self and for others and equality for all people and creatures on this planet. I have volunteered at the Samaritans Hotline for Suicide Prevention and feel strongly that healing is possible even after our darkest hour.
