Introduction

Text me to book a session or a free consultation (917-336-1569). I work with individuals and couples on healing trauma, positive communication, performance anxiety, reducing stress, managing anxiety, problem-solving, developing good habits, win/win negotiating, thriving during a relationship breakup, cultivating healthy self-esteem, managing life transitions, and understanding multigenerational family patterns. I can help you in 3 - 6 sessions to heal trauma, or I can be part of your priceless ongoing support and resilience system. Conflict and change are a part of life, but success and inner peace come from skillfully dealing with these challenges. There is no reason to navigate your challenges alone. I am here to help.
