In the most simplistic manner, life has a tendency to produce uncertain situations that divert our attention and challenges those of us with the best of intentions. Often times, as adults with professional careers, families, and home commitments, we are left contemplating (or second guessing) our role and purpose in life. Too often, individuals are left with the aching pit in their stomach, the feelings of rejection, and the fear of the unknown; however, despite such feelings, we press on because cognitively, our thinking has been programmed to fight through the nuances of life.

With over 30 years of clinical experience, my enthusiasm for my work has only grown. I view my role as a facilitator, helping people discover individual strengths while becoming accepting and respectful of vulnerabilities.

I teach effective communication skills to increase understanding and respect for differences while enhancing growth in connection. If asked about my greatest asset as a therapist, it is my ability to "listen," and to provide a safe place for exploration and resolution.
