I work with adults, teenagers and couples to help people find ways to feel better in their lives, in their relationships and in their own skin. Issues include self-esteem, sadness, stress, and dealing with difficult situations. We often talk about challenges and choices involved in relationships - romantic, social, family and professional. I also work with people struggling with food/weight issues, such as body image, eating disorders and emotional eating. We strive for physical and emotional wellness with a balanced individualized approach. In addition, I have extensive experience working with dancers and other performers.

Everyone has a story to tell. Our life experiences make our ever-evolving story unique. And sometimes, those experiences are painful… Broken relationships that we fought hard to keep together. Hating the person we see when we look in the mirror. Constantly comparing our failures to others who seem to have it all together. It’s just one disappointing chapter after another.

As a parent, you've been worried about what you see your teen going through. The excessive anxiety about school, relationships, and the struggle to adjust to any change in routine. Their stress level is high and they isolate from friends and family. You watch them play video games, scroll through social media and binge on Netfilx, but they never tell you what's going on. That's the scariest part. You want to help them, but you can't break through. And on top of that, the pandemic. You know it can't continue like this any longer.
