My medical background is extensive- spanning 50 years of alternative and traditional western medicine.
My work involves identifying issues and making a goal oriented treatment plan that is quantifiable as much as is possible, and usually is short term therapy. Health consultation and possible referrals to other types of health practitioners is also a vital part of the plan when needed.

Attended Phillips Graduate Institute,
MA in marriage and family counseling.
I have been a licensed marriage and family therapist since 1984. My approach is custom tailored to each client, implementing modalities most beneficial to each individual.
My goal is to empower people to be resilient and self-reliant, while still providing a safety net of a soft place to land, acceptance, and an unconditional nonjudgmental space.
I am also an RN, and believe in exploring the gut/brain connection, as this plays a crucial role in many cases of anxiety and depression.
I work only in person – eyes to eyes and heart to heart, as most communication is nonverbal. I can be most beneficial to my clients in this manner.
I invite anyone who would like in person counseling to contact me. i believe that is by far the most effective way to facilitate healing and resolution, as most communication is nonverbal. if you are ready to work and need a bridge to work through your current life situation, please know i will use my 70 years of life experience and 45 years of counseling experience to midwife you through the tough times. if you would like to evolve to a higher way of relating to life, people, ever changing circumstances, that would be another path where i would be of great assistance.
My goal is to empower people to be self reliant and still provide a safety net of acceptance and a soft place to land. I am also an RN and believe in exploring the gut brain connection as it can often be a critical component in causes of anxiety, depression, mood swings. My specialties also include relationship counseling of all kinds- marital, divorce, etc.
