Thank you for visiting my profile. I offer a safe and judgment-free opportunity for people to discuss problems or challenges they are facing. I work with a diverse combination of professionals, blue collar workers, parents, graduate students, agency administrators, seniors, and others. I enjoy helping clients explore alternatives for understanding the past, experiencing the present, and moving into the future. My approach involves talking in plain language and, as appropriate, with a bit of lightness and humor.
I transitioned to counseling after a successful 32-year career as a private practice lawyer. My life experiences, previous professional history, and compassion help me help clients. I work with clients on relationship issues, toxic workplace concerns, anger management, grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, assertiveness training, career choices, and other concerns. I enjoy working with caregivers for the elderly, disabled, or ill.
