Having spent my childhood years in South Africa, helped me develop a deep appreciation for diverse cultures and people. I received my training as a psychologist in the USA, and challenged myself to balance career and family while completing my Doctorate in Psychology.

With over 30 years as a private practice psychologist, I offer a wealth and depth of experience and expertise in dealing with many issues such as: stress management, depression, anxiety, pain management, trauma, relationship issues (couples, parenting, children and adolescents), conflict resolution, self esteem issues, and adjusting to life transitions including work and career issues.

My style is supportive, interactive, brief solution-focused, and positive. In my psychology practice I offer a holistic, pragmatic, eclectic approach integrating mind-body tools with cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, clinical hypnosis and EMDR.

I limit my client practice so that I can concentrate on your individual strengths, identify your needs, talents and problem-solving skills.

After 25 years of a thriving psychologiy private practice and raising three daughters who have launched their own careers, I am following my passion to COACH others in navigating the inevitable milestones and transitions of life, and shaping a personal future that fulfils DREAMS and highest POTENTIAL .

If you are graduating from college to a career, building your present career, transitioning into parenthood, or emerging from your career into refiring - rather than retiring - and aging well, I am available to SUPPORT and EMPOWER you through these changes.

You will receive the benefit and wisdom derived from my years as a seasoned psychologist. My breadth and depth of experience allows me to coach fruitfully in a holistic way, whether I am assisting in building emotional intelligence, improving interpersonal effectiveness, helping resolve conflict, moving through life transitions, or establishing a greater balance physically, emotionally, socially, or spiritually.

The only true agenda is your agenda!
