Life is a journey and how we navigate the roadblocks and pitfalls determines how we are able to emotionally function in a healthy and productive manner. I understand that each person has their unique challenges that cannot be avoided, however, I can help to prioritize and put challenges into perspective while helping you function at your best and most productive self. I have a reality-based approach and challenge my clients to confront the thoughts and feelings that have been keeping them from moving forward.
We will try to identify problem areas and barriers that that are getting in the way of progress.
I have worked extensively with high functioning professionals who are struggling with life balance. I have an expertise in working with adolescents and family dynamics. I understand depression and grief including end of life issues. I enjoy working together with clients as a team to help them achieve their goals.
I enjoy working with motivated clients who are willing to make changes necessary in order to achieve their goals.
