How does one belong and feel connected to others without giving up their true selves? How does one find one's place and purpose in this world? How does one take their most cherished values and use them to find more meaning and fulfillment in their lives? These questions emerge at different points in one's lifetime and can easily be drowned out by of life's events (ex. breakups, school issues, life transitions, trauma). I help pre-teens, teens and young and seasoned adults with these questions.

I help clients to connect with themselves and with their most cherished values. I help them adopt a more helpful attitude toward life's challenges. I help them develop more effective communication skills and coping strategies, so that they might be better understood by others and be better equipped to face and derive meaning from painful life events. Note: Using an integrative approach, I do my best to tailor a client's treatment to their needs.

I am both a Military Brat and a Third Culture Brat. I have lived in many parts of the world before I settled in New York City. Why am I saying this? Belonging and finding one's true self are life themes I know very well.
