Personal Statement

As a therapist, my mission is to help you improve your emotional well being, enhance your ability to engage in interpersonal relationships, and to empower you with useful tools, which will help you problem solve. Choosing the right therapist is an important decision and a good fit is necessary to make effective progress. 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 love to consult with corporations on relationships and relationship trends. My clients include Fortune 500 and mid-sized companies in various industries. They range from financial service companies to major motion picture studios.

I am solution-focused and am highly motivated to help my clients achieve their goals as quickly as possible. I am very easy to talk to and do believe in providing feedback and offering advice. Being a therapist is my passion and I love counseling individuals and couples. My clients emerge from our counseling sessions feeling stronger, empowered, and self-aware.
