"I'm a holistic compassionate therapist, honored to work with many devoted clients in a field I've enjoyed for more than 30 years. Clients include adults and seniors. Foundationally, I work based on relational and empowerment models. Within the therapeutic setting, work begins with mindful development of safe trusting client/therapist relationships.

I offer a supportive and nurturing environment so you can understand those feelings, allow them to be expressed in a safe manner, and help you adapt to the realities of your changed life. "
