I believe that each person has within them the ability to achieve optimum
health and a state of well-being. I also believe that the art of creating
the happy, fulfilled, meaningful life is possible for each one of us.
I believe in your own inner sense of where you want to be, and your own
sense of how to move there. As a counselor, I see my role as supporting
your healing journey as you find your own strength to define your dreams.
I can support your growth by helping you understand the change process, and
supporting you to discover what your own next right step is.
Ours is the meeting of two minds toward one purpose,
yours. I have been in private practice since 1994. I have supported the healing journey of hundreds of people using my unique blend of techniques that identify both strengths and dysfunctions in the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of a person's being. I love my work and am pleased to be of service in this way.
As you'll see below, I have lots of certifications, degrees and licenses. What I'm most proud proud of, however, is that I finally realize that I'm loveable and acceptable just the way I am, and another certification, degree or license has no relation to Who I Am.
