About me
I obtained; an MA in Counseling Services from Indiana University of Pennsylvania , a MSW from U of Pittsburg, and completed a 3 year Marital and Family Training Program from Gannon University in conjunction with St Vincent Hospital in Erie PA.
I have worked 30+ years in the human service field. Initially developed an interest in ; meditation and spirituality in 1970', counselling SMI clients in 1986, Marital Family Therapy in 1990, D/A treatment in 1999. I'm a Holistic Counselor who recognizes the importance of how one's emotional, psychological, social, and spiritual, realities of life interact. Folks have different emphasis about these values and we will work together to help resolve the problem(s).
