Throughout my career my passion has always been focusing on psycho-education, providing practical tools and strategies for learning "hands on" skills for emotional health and wellness. My books as well as my trainings and presentations are highly experiential, offering group and individual activities and exercises for improving mental health and increasing self-empowerment. I would be interested in a remote, part time position for up to 8-10 hours per week to use my skills and expertise in any way that help promote mental health and wellness through speaking, training, developing curriculum and consulting.
To promote my latest book, 110 CBT Tips and Tools, released in January, 2025, I have been a guest on various podcasts promoting mental health and wellness.

I am the author of 11 psychoeducational mental health books and two therapeutic cards decks. My books were initially geared towards helping mental health professionals treat common client client problems using various practical resources such as worksheets, handouts, self-help quizzes, activities and visualizations. My 5 book "Tips and Tools for the Therapeutic Toolbox Series" published by mental health publisher, PESI, offers mental health providers practical psycho-educational resources to use with their clients to deal with common client problems, such as relationship issues, stress, anxiety, depression, and life adjustment issues. My later books were geared toward the self-help reader looking for practical life skills strategies.
I have been a keynote speaker for various organizations, workplaces, and conferences for a span of over 40 years. All my presentations are highly interactive, offering participants practical tools to create a positive life and a positive workplace through improving emotional wellness, stress management, parenting skills, communication, emotional regulation and life skills.
I worked at an EAP in Allentown, PA for a few years before starting my own private practice which continued until I moved out of the area. I saw a variety of adult clients individually as well as couple counseling and family counseling. My focus in my practice followed my interests in psycho-education, using techniques from CBT, DBT and ACT primarily. I continue to see a small number of clients for mental health coaching remotely.
