Welcome

I am a counselor committed to cultural sensitivity. I value diversity. My goal is to provide a safe, non-discriminatory, non-shaming space for authentic, mindful communication. I believe in the power of love, the wisdom of the heart, and each person’s ability to find their own truth.  With increased self-awareness you can pause to face your fears and disrupt avoidance cycles.  I believe that each of us shines from within. Grounded in love, my intent is to reduce suffering and to do no harm. Allow me to help you recognize and appreciate how you shine.

BS Secondary Science Education  The University of Texas at Austin 1983  Thirty years as an educator provided opportunities to work with diverse populations in a variety of settings including: public school education, educating incarcerated youth, virtual education for at-risk youth, job skills training for adults, adult community education and ESL for migrant farm workers.

Personal motivation, improved organization and higher quality communication are attainable skills necessary to get back on track academically.  I enjoy  working with people to learn to better manage their perceptions, feelings, and time.
