By identifying and building on strengths you already have, we can work together to help create more balance and contentment in your life. I enjoy fostering mindfulness and other skills which reduce distress and build resiliency, and have co-authored a book on children and anxiety.

Are you at a point in life where you're feeling disconnected from yourself and in your closest relationships? Whether you’re a parent feeling overwhelmed, a professional experiencing burnout, or a partner feeling disconnected... you find yourself feeling stuck, repeating the same patterns of codependence, fighting or people pleasing. If this sounds like you or your relationship, it's time to make a change. I work with individuals & couples, just like you, struggling to manage their roles, expectations, and unhealed traumatic experiences. Their relationships are suffering & they feel disconnected from what used to feel good.

As a parent of a struggling teenage son, you want to do whatever you can to help get your teen on the right path. I help struggling teenage guys discover their identity, realize their strengths, and use those strengths to catapult into adulthood with a sense of competence and confidence. Adolescence is an exciting time where teens form their unique identity, build meaningful social connections, and learn to think in an innovative way. Ironically, what makes adolescence so exciting can also make it enormously stressful for both teens and their caretakers.

Do you ever ask yourself, with a little curiosity, "What the hell is my life?" as you are pondering what you want and how to get there? Loneliness sucks. Connection is difficult.
