I look forward to working with individuals who wish to overcome an obstacle to realizing joy or a personal goal in life.
After 47 years in the health and mental health fields, both as a direct service provider and an administrator, I bring a wealth of experience and training to the table. My patient reviews often highlight this knowledge base and a compassionate approach to helping.
Starting psychotherapy can be a challenge in itself. Revealing ourselves to another and looking inside can evoke complicated and uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. Getting started, as with many things in life, is the hardest part. Once something is started, things rarely are as difficult as anticipated. BTW - I am a fan of humor as part of the journey.
