Bio

I'm 70. I have both an MBA in Finance that I received in 1988 and an MS in Clinical Mental Health that I received in 2018. I've also been been teaching meditation for about 25 years. I've found that just listening to people tell their story in a non-judgmental manner can be transformative. It can allow people to break the cycle of negative thoughts they may have by saying what they're thinking out loud. And that act of verbalizing their thoughts and sharing them with someone else can help them deal with whatever is going on in their lives.

I believe in volunteering because I believe in giving back to the community and also because of the feeling that I get when I reach out to someone else.  

I do not provide any sort of Mental Health Counseling services other than active listening here. I am not medically trained so I can not give any advice about.      medications.
