We all have points in our lives when we need an empathic ear and reliable perspective. Maybe you've had a crisis, a loss, a change you just can't cope with alone. Or maybe you just feel stuck: in work, in relationships, in life. Therapy can help you make sense of what's happening and help you gain clarity so you can move forward. With a down-to-earth, practical approach, I can help with issues related to:

• -Dating/Relationships
• -Career Transitions
• -Creative Blocks
