People ask me how I am able to listen to people's problems all day without going crazy and getting depressed myself. The fact is, if that was all that there was to it -listening to people's problems - I probably would go crazy. The great joy in my work, and the satisfaction, is in seeing people get better. This desire keeps me on the learners edge, and it is my passion. I am a capable guide who will respect your individuality and choices along the way while providing you a sureness of foot that only experience can provide.
I am as excited today as I was 40 plus years ago to do this work. I find a deep satisfaction in helping people find peace in their lives, and harmony in their relationships. This work for me is finding the right solutions. Solutions that are unique to your situation. Solutions that lead you to places that ultimately make sense to you, they are right for you.
I have spent my life attempting to live a life of integrity. I am honest and joy filled, good humored, unwaveringly convinced of the essential goodness that underlies all of us, even when we fail. For a "better feel" for who I am, take a look at my blog on my website.
