About me
I am licensed in California with 17 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients cope with grief and loss, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & career planning and/or difficulties on the job. I also have experience working with coping with life changes.
I do integrative work including spirituality, related to the psychological-philosophical work often referred to as existential theory, that is inclusive.
I create for ALL my clients a space that is an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.
It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards making change. I am here to support & empower you on this journey.
Please note: that ALL new clients need to sign up for a VIDEO appointment FIRST before a phone or chat may be used.For new comers. I also highly recommend keeping your appointments and cancelling by giving advanced notices when ever possible.
I appreciate that COURTEOUS. Thank you.
