Additional Information

It has been my lifelong passion working with individuals, couples and families, assisting them with mental, emotional and addiction issues. I have worked with people ranging from adolescents to senior citizens. I have retained the passion for helping others, and have found that it has been one of the most rewarding experiences one could ever have. My job was something I believed in doing, and still do. I always looked forward to going to work every day. Now that I am retired from full time employment, I want to continue working on a part time basis.
