Thank you for your help over these past months. I appreciate all of our talks and I'm glad there are people like you in the field right now.
I hope that if you have a therapist, they're as sweet and encouraging as you are with me :) Thank you for everything you do and for being there for me and all your other clients.

Book reviews
Roz Rutstein, former director of marywood
graduate art therapy program
- After the opportunity of having ready (the author's) workbook, I was amazed at how (they) interwove solid psychological theory and principles, with (their) wisdom and insights into the needs of both children and parents/caregivers. And not only did (the author) accomplish this monumental task, (they) did it in a most down-to-earth, easily understood workbook. I found (their) ABCs to be a brilliant way of helping parents/caregivers think about and engage in some of the most critical issues in child/adolescent development....As a grandfather of a five-year-old grandson, I will keep this book close and refer to it as I help mold my grandson. I can think of no greater endorsement.

Thank you so very much for taking the time to learn about me and what I have to offer my community and beyond.
Welcoming Connections, LLC was originally conceived in 2012 and became a reality in the summer of 2024 when I was mentally and emotionally ready to take the reigns of my career. This has been a labor of love to become my own boss and to have the flexibility to be involved in a variety of projects.
I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and others who feel touched by my invitation to improve your mental health or to enrich your life in other ways.

I know personally and professionally the challenges of being human and healing from past hurts as well as of coping with present day to day life struggles. I am forever grateful to the handful of therapists whom I had the privilege of working with. They believed in me and saw the light at the end of the tunnel when I was not able to see it.
We are created with healing potential within each of us. Our lives are forever changed when we find the right person to help us tap into our personal healing power.
You are more then worth making this investment in your personal, relational, or professional well-being.
