About me

You re not alone. You don’t have to
deal with your current situation without
help whether it is hopelessness,
anxiety, Pain, grief, loss or indecision.
If you feel alone in your partnership or
life isn’t what you imagined and you
don’t know what you can do to get relief
from those sinking, lost or frantic
feelings, there are answers. Life can
change quite quickly. I am a Reiki
Master Teacher so I am able to tune into
the needs of my clients on many levels.
I give homework for clients who enjoy
extra work between sessions. Mindfulness
is a focus that I’ve used for many years.
Eighteen years with TWA in customer
service on the east and west coasts has
afforded me an understanding of
airline issues and the behavior of many
different groups of people under stress
from all over the world as well as dealing
with solutions to many problems on a
daily basis to help people feel better and
more control. No one wants to feel
powerless. I was on the board of
directors of Project Touch in Hermosa
Beach and California Marriage and
Family Therapists South Bay/Long Beach.
I was under contract with
South Bay Youth Project as well as
Beach Cities Health District providing
therapy to individuals, couples and families for
decades. I care about people and love my work.

Carol has helped me get over some major things in the last year and one half in my life with support, care and most important listening and validating me. I really appreciate her!!!

Written on Aug 02, 2023 after therapy with Carol for 1 year and 5 months on issues concerning family conflicts

I’ve worked with Carol for a month in regards to a specific relationship problem with my ex-partner. She’s helped me navigate the situation and validated many of my feelings and actions. She’s given me some very poignant advice and explained a lot of patterns and behaviors in myself and others. Carol listens, inquires, and cares.
