My professional background spans over thirty years as a vocational counselor, providing testing and evaluation for both the school and court systems, as a psychotherapist in private practice working with personal and family issues, and as a lecturer for major companies on stress reduction and self-esteem. I have been doing online counseling for Asktheinternettherapist site for the past two years. I find this process very successful for problem solving. I am a published author in educational and psychological journals, addressing the problems of both gifted and physically challenged children. I have a Private Practice and do Phone Counseling.

That's a lot of sitting in your seat and asking questions, but there is nothing more rewarding than helping another person have the life that they deserve. I hope that you will give me the opportunity to be your Professional Friend. That is what Therapy is in my book ---- someone to listen, someone to care, and someone with the tools to help you find your passion, live your best life, and know peace of mind. I hope that I'm that person for you.
