About Me

I came to the profession of therapy late in life through my strong desire to help others by providing direct care. Prior to counseling I had a varied and fulfilling career working in non-profit administration and management as the Director of Administration for the Child & Family Institute in Sacramento, California. A nonprofit that provides out-patient mental health services to at-risk children and their families, and the Performing Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) in Galt, California. A nonprofit which provides sanctuary to abused, abandoned and retired captive wildlife. I also have a background in theatrical production and design where I worked at the Tony-award winning Goodman Theatre, Chicago’s oldest and largest not-for-profit theater.
