Love-Life interests and expertise
Many of the young adults and couples I have worked with, over the years, have struggled with relationships. I have found that therapy with individuals and couples has helped many address communication barriers, jealousy, infidelity, divorce, feelings of loneliness, stress related to dating. Additionally, my expertise in issues related to culture and diversity has been helpful in working with individuals who struggle with dealing with areas of difference (e.g., race / ethnicity, class, age, religion) from their dating partners.

Love-Life biography
I understand the excitement, stresses, and challenges of being single and looking for a life partner, whether through on-line dating, blind dates, or meeting friends of friends. I believe that having a forum, such as Love-Life Workshops, to talk about these experiences and learn from others, can be helpful in learning about oneself and developing even better relationships.
