I am thrilled to be a member of Blue Skies Psychological Services, P.C. I have always wanted to be a therapist, as my own experiences with therapy have helped me so much. Being diagnosed with a learning disability at an early age gave me compassion for what all family members must cope with when confronting LD and other special needs. I work with teens, adults, couples and families, in various settings, such as schools, colleges, vocational training programs. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I customize my approach to suit each unique individual, utilizing a client-centered approach. Empathy and active listening are key.

I believe every dysfunction, every disorder, and every pain was somehow born to cope with life and protect the best parts of us. In the journey towards healing, we all need a power greater than ourselves (call it God, love, or family...) to provide acceptance, support, and a safe place to unravel. Counseling is an invitation to come and be; to take an honest look at yourself for who and what you really are; to realize your issues make sense; and to have compassion for all parts of you so you can holistically heal and function at your full potential.

Over the past 30+ years, I have treated the varied emotional problems of several diverse generations. Those clients who worked hard and gave significant time to the treatment were all, for the most part,able to put their relationships in order and further enhance them as well as becoming rather successful in their work. My mentor, an analysand of Erich Fromm, told me long ago that "each person has his/her own poetry." My job was to let it unfold. It all sounded very lofty but time revealed that this was the way.
