About Us

---

I believe in the capacity of each person to transcend obstacles and problems. With caring, empathic, and expert guidance, I assist clients to tap into their strengths, and use these to overcome the challenges bringing them for treatment.
 

My education and training date back thirty years. During this time, I have worked with a wide variety of clients, problems, and age groups.
