I have been a counselor for over 30 years. During this time I have worked with a large and diverse group of clients who have enriched my life and helped me build a wealth of experience that I am eager to share. I am a compassionate person and an excellent listener. I deeply value the lives of each of my clients no matter how different they are from mine.
As a person who specializes in helping others deal with stress and anxiety, managing my own stress and anxiety is very important to me. I try to do this through exercise, meditation, gardening, reading, and by maintaining a strong bond with my family and friends.
Here are Some Values I Bring to Therapy:
- Every client is to be valued and respected
- The differences among people are to be celebrated
- Counseling is non-judgmental
- The perspectives of children and adolescents are to be taken seriously
- There is not a one-up, one-down relationship in therapy
