Thanks for stopping by; it's difficult to know what to say on a site such as this. I live and work here in Massachusetts, having come from nearby Rhode Island to pursue my education. Well, it's now 25 years later, and I still enjoy living in Massachusetts! It's certainly a beautiful state from the Berkshires, downtown Boston, Mt. Wachuset, the coastal islands all of which I love to visit and explore! I am single, never married but work with and enjoy kids alot! I'm also a very active aunt to my nieces and nephews.

Career has focused on working with special needs students and their families from pre-K through high school or age 21. I'm also a licensed mental health counselor. I've been told by many that I'm a good listener, have a quirky sense of humor, and a loyal friend & good companion. I'm a bit unconventional (must be the age factor or maturity).
Interests and activities include: salt water sailing, kayaking, bicycling, yoga, hiking, music (of all kinds), gardening, skiing & volunteer work. I enjoy finding nature wherever it's observed, walking in the city, countryside, or enjoying being out on the water, or in my garden.

Listening, empathy, non- judgemental.
