      <image:caption>If you are over age 60, or dealing with family issues of illness, sex, finances, cognitive decline, or loss that come with aging, I have the clinical and life experience to give you a new approach and new options. After 40+ years and tens of thousands of hours of therapy time, nothing surprises me.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Helping you help yourself.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I work to empower my clients to tackle issues in their lives that are holding them back. Family members grow older and the issues grow more difficult, cut-offs and feuds complicate the finding of solutions. I work with my clients to resolve problems in their relationships and to promote agreement and decision-making, We address the presenting problem and develop skills for continued coping.</image:caption>
