Great to meet you!

I care about people, not just as a profession, but on a personal level. Worked as a clinician for over 25 years with a background in Social Work. Worked with individuals dealing with issues like DIVORCE, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, TRAUMA, EATING DISORDER, GENDER DYSPHORIA, ADDICTIONS, MARITAL CONFLICTS, GRIEF ETC. Actively involved in charitable works for the marginalized and unfortunates. My goal is TO MAKE A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE IN OTHERS' LIVES. I find good in everyone. Into fitness &Health.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I never try to change anyone's beliefs or behaviors. I provide feedback in what I observe. I make aware of discrepancies I see between what someone believes in or values and their choices. I strive to get a good picture of what is going on before I share. I try to harness individual's strengths that are often hidden. Individuals will decide both direction and outcome of therapy.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients will feel understood, heard and respected without being judged. They will be empowered to both choose and execute their life's course. To know that NOTHING is hopeless and believe that things can and will get better as long as they are willing to do the work and invest the energy toward growth, and positive changes and outcomes.
