It is a privilege to engage with a wide range of clients around a myriad of dialogues related to personal development and managing stresses of everyday living as well as more intensive challenges involving loss, transition, and traumatic events. It is equally engaging to help writers, artists, and entrepreneurs develop their confidence, productivity, and craft in various fields. I enjoyed a long career as a Manhattan psychoanalyst and educator within my field, as well as published journal articles and presented my work at various training venues within Manhattan and internationally. I am pleased to have the opportunity to bring my eclectic training and experience, as well as my own engagement as a published author and poet to my WordPaint® Life & Creativity Coaching, Consulting, and Mentoring practice.
