Welcome to my web site, and congratulations on taking the first step towards making changes in your life! It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

My mission is to help people improve their emotional well being, enhance their ability to engage in interpersonal relationships and to empower them with the tools necessary to take control of their lives.

My areas of specialty are:

Relationships
Couples Counseling
Break up, Separation or Divorce Counseling
Improving Your Sex Life / Sex Therapy
Pre-Marital Counseling
Emerging, New and Growing Families
Parenting Issues
Depression and Anxiety
Career Change and/or Career Issues

My work is characterized by intuition, compassion, optimism and collaboration. I try to be straightforward, without being harsh, and encouraging without applying any pressure. I pride myself on being approachable. I'd rather joke with people than judge them and, though I love to talk, I find listening to be just as powerful.

I hope you’ll take some time to look through my web site to learn more specific details about my work as a therapist, plus get advice on complex issues such as relationships, dating, career and money, addictions, and much more.
