About Me

I have worked with individuals and families in various milieus for over 25 years and I never ask more of a client than I would ask of myself, but never less, either.  In this manner the therapy progresses successfully. 

My work is consistent, patient, tolerant, free from bias.  I am straightforward, honest, and understanding.  Humour and deep empathy are essential parts of who I am personally and professionally.  I will not waste your time or your money.  I want to help you live your life as fully as possible.  You deserve no less.
