I work from a Strengths-Based, Existential and Solution-Focused perspective. In plain English: we talk one human to another about what it's like to live in this ever-changing world. In those conversations, I help you rediscover your strengths, which are the tools you use to reach your goals.
I believe that people are helped by having an empathic listening environment in which they are fully "heard". This helps people to remove the obstacles to their growth, with the primary growth direction being the individual's search for personal meaning in their lives.

I combine Positive Psychology and CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) with Buddhism and a creative mix of the best approaches known to modern psychology. I specialize in helping people to fulfill their potential.
