I celebrate your efforts to take stock of your life, to take a deep breath, and to take the risk to reach out. Emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual pain, gives all of us an opportunity for healing, learning, and growth. Often what feels like something overwhelming and upsetting is about to give you Clarity. Making the first phone call is a significant first step.

I have spent my life studying patterns of human behavior and seeing how I can use this knowledge to help others. I am intensely curious about people and their struggles and was well trained in my graduate studies at NYU to understand the person within all of the systems they are in; family, status, culture, race, gender, income, generational family history and more.

My clients should know that, as a “mature in years woman” for my entire life I have wanted to help people to be the best they can be. I have learned much from my own experiences. Living up to one’s full potential is quest, a journey, where we learn along the way how to make ourselves better and stronger.

We all take our knocks and come away having adjusted to life accordingly. People adapt with profound creativity and resilience. Nonetheless we often find that our tried and true methods fall short and leave us feeling completely at a loss as to how to move forward.

I love clients who are open to discovering that they have more inner resources than they realized. This takes courage, but "the cave you fear holds the treasure you seek."
