About My Clients
I share my knowledge different skills, techniques and practices to help clients feel more in charge of their own well being, even if external circumstances cannot be changed (e.g. personal health issues, loss of loved ones, aging as well as life style and environmental changes). I specialize in helping people with depression and anxiety, stress management, bi-polar mood disorder, grief, aging and lifestyle changes as well as chronic health problems.
My Background and Approach
I began my career in Canada at a community counseling center and then as a Medical Social Worker at a general hospital with patients and their families facing life altering health situations. After six years I began my focus on mental health at a hospital with a psychiatric unit. I worked in both in-patient and out-patient psychiatry providing individual and group therapy. After moving to California I worked at the Department of Veteran’s Affairs hospital in Loma Linda in the Mental Health program, then at several different Community Based Outpatient Clinics of the VA in Los Angeles, Monterey and Chico California. At the end of 2022 I retired from the VA and now work in private practice in Colorado.
