I have over 36 years experience in the mental health field. My past work has been with the criminal justice population and for over 25 years I have worked specifically with criminals in prisons, adolescent residential treatment programs and in jails. I have extensive training and experience as a sexual offender treatment provider and in the treatment of anger management and violence prevention.

However, in 2022 I retired, determined to take my experience working with perpetrators into the community to help survivors of crime, abuse and toxic workplaces and relationships heal from trauma and thrive.

My work is focused on building self compassion, self trust and love. This requires healthy boundaries and the release of resentment. I don’t believe forgiveness is needed to heal, but I do believe that thriving can not occur in bitterness or helplessness and I am determined to help my clients rise up and become the men and women they were born to become. I work with a lot of spiritual clients who identify as lightworkers and also with people sensitive to the environmental energy around them. I have a background in first responder work in my young adult life and I also have a fair amount of clients who appreciate that I understand this work and many of them do not care for a spiritual approach to treatment. I am comfortable with that as well.
