My Expert Service
|
|
I have worked with people of all ages, individuals, couples and families for 25 years. I am a licensed mental health counselor and coach.
There is a difference between aloneness and loneliness. You may or may not feel lonely when you are by yourself, but being alone simply means that there is no one else around. Being lonely means to suffer feelings of loneliness; to want people, social contact, and yet be unable to touch others around you. One can feel lonely when not alone, even when in a crowd, surrounded by people.

While under a contract with Vocational Rehabilitation, I evaluated students with learning disabilities who were graduating from high school to determine their need for assistive technology in higher education.
At Project Aids I counseled people with HIV/AIDS.
Prior to earning an MA, I worked as a Social Case Worker for Families with Children and with the Work Incentive Program.
