I'm passionate about helping people change their lives.

 

I work with individuals and couples struggling with relationship problems. Creating harmony in relationship is at the heart of who I am.

​

I ended a successful 20+ year business career to become a therapist, which gives me a unique perspective for working with executives and managers struggling with various challenges.  I am also trained and currently work as an executive coach.
