I have been in private clinical practice for 22 years. I have specifically trained to work with children, adolescents, young adults and older adults. My time is spent fairly equally working with mental health and substance abuse issues. Likewise, I have chosen to not focus on one specific age group, finding it to be more satisfying to see various aged people. I spend the most time with young adults, from ages of 16-26. I enjoy working with couples; though challenging, I can often offer a safe place for them to listen to one another.

The term Legacy by definition means "something of value transmitted by or received from an ancestor or predecessor or from the past." As I reflect upon my life I noticed people who laid up for me a legacy, a promise and hope. The most influential people who have impacted my life and who established a legacy for me were my grandparents. They established a legacy, it was the legacy of care, compassion, and goodwill to mankind. I saw kindness, love, patience, meekness, faithfulness, and gentleness and these are the qualities I bring into the therapeutic relationships.

I imagine sharing space and time with folks experiencing a spectrum of mental health challenges, from common to extreme, from obvious to complex. I imagine meeting folks that avoid talking to others about the type of things they think, the ways they feel or the ways they behave. I imagine meeting with folks and learning from them, and them learning from me. I imagine learning to accept what is while learning, discovering, what else could be. I do not promise a fix: I do promise to listen. I do not promise outcomes: I do promise effort and change.
