”A great beginning is sometimes at the point of what you thought would be the end of everything.” – Dodinsky Forty years of experience in the counseling profession and several decades more of life have helped me to see how the most difficult of times can lead to a positive and amazing transformation. “For just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly.- Author Unknown”. It is my desire to support people during these struggles to become the best person that they are intended to be. I have assisted people experiencing a wide range of mental health and life issues from very diverse racial, cultural, life stages, educational and socioeconomic backgrounds. My goal is to assist you through the struggle in developing the resiliency skills you need to transform into your best self.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session we will spend some time in allowing you to get to know about my background and approach. Secondly we will spend time gathering information on you in order to provide a thorough assessment to enable an individually tailored approach. You will be given some tools to take away for use until our next session.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe my biggest strength is the ability to relate to people of all ages, races, ethnicities, religions and backgrounds. Each of those things contribute to who you are as an individual and it is important to examine those contributions. Despite differences I believe most of us have some very strong commonalities.
