About me
I am an experienced Mental Health Counselor who helps people and families with anxiety and depression, trauma, and parenting issues.
I have been helping children, adolescents, and adults regain a sense of mastery in their lives for over forty years. As an educator and counselor, I understand and connect with people of all ages. For thirty years I have been counseling people of all ages with stage-of-life challenges — divorce, involuntary and voluntary job change, school success issues, births and deaths, and change in health. I would be happy to discuss whether working together could be helpful to you.
