Message to clients

Whether you are in the midst of a crisis and/or are wanting to unravel and alter unhelpful and possibly destructive life patterns, I welcome your contact. I work with both individuals and couples and have expertise in a wide-range of areas. These areas include relationship conflicts, anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic or acute medical conditions, issues related to social justice as well as substance-use and eating disorders.

I recognize how courageous it can be to reach out and ask for help. We will go at a pace that is comfortable for you (yet challenging, as needed) with my utmost respect for who you are and what you are bringing to me at this time.

Please do not hesitate to contact me and discover if this connection feels right for you.
