Specialties: Difficult or narcissistic parents, Gender Variance/Transgender issues, Relationships, Assertion. I help people feel more comfortable with their own agenda, deal with difficult individuals and change entrenched roles in relationships.

I also help people cope with difficult life transitions such as coming out or transitioning. I have worked with transgendered individuals for several years, helping them to transition to the desired level of their chosen gender.

I bring a high level of intelligence, sensitivity and experience to the table. I invite you to visit my homepage and send me an email to discuss your particular concern. (video/skype sessions available)
