I have been a counselor since 1968. I am 70 years old and have been figuring life out for about 65 years! My belief and my experience is that if you keep trying, you will figure things out. The goal is to become content with who we are and to figure out how to become content being that person. it might not be easy, but it is worth the effort. I want to be along on part of your journey towards self- acceptance,fulfillment, happiness. I want to be a guide, a mentor,become part of your support system, be in your corner. I want to hear your personal story and ask questions that hopefully will help you understand yourself better and better. I want to help you sort out your feelings so you will know which ones to pay attention to and which to reject. I am a quiet,kind, loving and maternal person. I believe in journal writing, reading self-help books and participating in 12 step programs, but I do not care if this happens because I know there is a timing to personal change I am not in charge of the timeframe. I am patient and will wait for the right time for each person. I endeavor to have purpose for anything I say and I try to always behave ethically.
