Center For Mediation And Counseling
About
Cognitive-behavioral with family systems theory approach 1) I recognize each client for who they truly are and place a high priority in making sure the client's needs and wants are heard and respected. 2) I listen to the client and I provide appropriate and helpful feedback when needed. 3) My professional experience involves having a license as a Clinical Psychologist, a license as a Marriage and Family Therapist and am Certified as an Substance and Alcohol Counselor. 4) Another high priority is adressing and working together toward higher consciousness, becoming aware of our thoughts, our choices and the consequences of those choices.
Clients are the inspiration and it continues to be my privilege to support, provide information as needed and together make this a better world for all of us. I love my work and feel the decision I made in 1982 while in College was to study for my marriage and family credentials was the absolute right one for me. I love my work and even more importantly I love my clients who are a constant inspiration to me.
