I have had the privilege of working as a Psychologist since 1995. My clients have been my greatest teachers. It is they who have inspired my unshakeable belief in the resilience of the human spirit to rise above adversity. I have worked with adults, adolescents and couples over my career, but currently the focus of my work is solely with adults.
