I have the privilege of working with all ages and as a result, I use a developmental approach in dealing with life issues. I am very interactive in the therapy process, including teaching, coaching, and role-modeling, all to empower you to reach your personal life goals.

More than 30 years in mental health, more specifically, State Hospital work, Crisis intervention, Court Liaison/Evaluations, Classroom Instructor "Conflict Mediation and Diffusing Conflict," "Violent and Drug Induced Behaviors," and "The Use of Humor in Crisis Situations."

In addition, I have conducted research on Interpersonal Attraction and Attitude Change. I have spent the past 32 years in practice at Stress Management and Mental Health Clinics.

I have three children that I enthusiastically support in their academic, extra-curricular, and daily life activities.
