"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" (Mary Oliver) This question lies at the heart of my work, with my goal being to help clients live more authentic and connected lives through self-awareness, resilience and positive change. My approach is flexible, interactive and solution-oriented. I bring a mindful perpsective to psychotherapy and tend to see life transitions as opportunities for transformation and growth. My clients have said that my calm demeanor and my careful, empathic listening promote a safe and reflective environment, fostering self-compassion, self-awareness and change. I help with relationships, anxiety, depression, loss. Life passages are central to my work, and I specialize in reproductive health: pregnancy loss, infertility, assisted reproduction, postpartum issues. I offer mind-body groups for infertility and consultations on third-party reproduction (oocyte, sperm, or embryo donation; gestational surrogacy). I have an interest in the creative process, and through my training in creativity coaching, I have learned to think flexibly and to help my clients craft innovative solutions to life problems. I also have a busy clientele of writers, visual artists, and professionals grappling with creative or academic blocks.
