Client Range and Focus

I am open to working with anyone over the age of 19 of any gender, culture, race, religion, political belief or sexual orientation. I intend to see the person as a whole human being, to show unconditional positive regard for them, and not to discriminate on any basis or on the grounds of any internal bias.
 

That being said, I have emotional touchstones or personal reference points from my own experience and deeper self-knowledge that may be of particular benefit in connecting to those struggling with certain issues. These issues involve various forms of anxiety (GAD, social anxiety, health anxiety), depression due to isolation and alienation, life/career transitions and disruptions (job loss, unemployment, immigration, frequent moving), and job burnout.
 

In addition, I believe I have experiences that have increased my multicultural literacy and lend me a particular ability to work with and connect to people of diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds. I am a first-generation European immigrant and I have grown up in international expat communities. I have also worked with international students as an English Language teacher. Therefore, I believe I have a foundation of experience for understanding the challenges faced by people struggling with adjusting to new or different socio-cultural environments.
