I started off my career working with folks recovering from substance use disorders.

These were often related to unresolved trauma, relationship issues, and troubles with intimacy/sex.

I have 41 years experience counseling people with relationship issues; couples with family and marital problems; parents needing help with teens; straight and gay/lesbian couples wanting a healthier relationship.
