BIOGRAPHY
​
​What special qualities and knowledge do I bring to therapy?

Growing up in Europe and moving to the U.S. as an adult familiarized me with the challenges of being far from all one knows and loves, adjusting to a different culture and career change.  I developed some sensitvity to multicultural issues and love working with people from different countries.

​Other personal experiences include dealing with the challenges of being an artist (i.e., confronting creative blocks, rejection, existential fears)...  chronic illness ...  issues of aging parents...  death and significant losses.
 
Why am I disclosing all this?  Because I think that these personal experiences combined with my professional expertise have enhanced my work in terms of understanding, empathy, instilling hope and working towards resolution.
