About
I have been in the counseling field for years. I started out as a High School Peer Counselor when I was a Senior in 1977. I have been a staff person for a self-devolopment/self-discovery sem I nar called Omega Vector in the early 90's. I was an online counselor in the mid-90's. I was a facilitator for support groups: Al-Anon, Co-Da, Parents Anonymous, and Women Who Love Too Much. The first 2 groups were for loved ones of addicts/alcoholics. Parents Anonymous was a group that I taught, giving people better parenting skills. WWLTM was a support group that I facilitated, teaching abused women to learn self-empowerment, life purpose, coping skills in domestic violence situations, and referrals to help them leave their abusers.
I am dedicated to helping all people in all walks of life and to make a positive impact on their lives.
I specialize in relationship counseling, depression, anxiety, abuse of all kinds, and helping people to find their purpose in life.
I do what I do to help heal the world, one person at a time.
***ALL MY FEES ARE NEGOTIABLE***
I love helping people have a new perspective about themselves and the world in general. When I help them overcome their issues, I know I have fulfilled my life's purpose for being here!

How did you get started in this business?
When I was 6-years-old, I was hit by a car while running across the street. I was in a coma for a week and had a near-death experience. When I woke up, I knew it was my purpose to help others but I didn't understand the word "counselor" at the time. I started my counseling experience as a Senior in High School, after being interviewed by the entire school board. I am now a Life Coach and a Motivational Speaker.
What types of customers have you worked with?
People from all walks of life!
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
The Tedx talks are one of the major goals on my bucket list! Tony Robbins seminars are, too!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Know that I am not only professional and confidential, I am also friendly, caring, empathetic, and compassionate. I will be with you every step of the way until you see major positive changes in your life!
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
The most important question is, in my mind, to think about what your major goal is. What do you want to accomplish? What parts of yourself need healing??
There will NEVER be judgment from me, nor do I give advice. I give you different ideas and perspectives on things and let you choose what fits for you.
