I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including addictions (drug, alcohol, gambling, eating, shopping and hoarding), depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, trauma, children and adolescents in foster care, OCD and eating disorders.

I will speak with you openly about your feelings and help you to gain new perspectives and solutions. I work closely with men and women facing many situations, including how to deal with a complicated relationship, family and work problems, or the loss of loved ones. My approach to healing combines traditional therapies with holistic approaches, while drawing on the individual’s spiritual practices and developing new coping strategies Now accepting new clients in New York and Texas!
