Last Updated 30+ days ago

I work mainly with individuals. Due to coronavirus concerns, I’m now available only for online (telehealth) sessions. In our sessions, we address such questions as: Are you having difficulties in your relationships? Do you experience anxiety or depression? Do you just want to feel better about yourself and reach your full potential?

In addition, I specialize in helping creative and LGB people.

Are you a creative person:
Dealing with very high standards for yourself, so that only “perfection” is good enough?
Do you have doubts about your own self-worth?
Do you have a hard time dealing with:
rejection
the ups and downs of the creative process
the task of constantly having to find new jobs?

I help creative people to:
Recognize that being creative is HARD!!
Strive for excellence, not “perfection“
Become more patient with themselves
Stop listening to internal, negative voices!

Are you a Lesbian, gay, or bisexual who:
struggles with coming out
doubts your own self-worth
judges yourself negatively
has difficulty with society’s prejudice and discrimination

I help LGB people to:
be PROUD of who they are
empower themselves
embrace their positive qualities and achievements
