ABOUT ME

I started my coaching method with one goal in mind: to help people find happiness in their work, relationships, and life. My background in psychology combined with my personal interest in spirituality help others focus, reflect, and refine their lives.

For more than forty years, I have had the profound privilege of walking beside thousands of individuals as they navigated grief, anxiety, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges and profound personal transformation. Every person who enters my practice brings a unique story, and it is a sacred honor to witness their courage, resilience and capacity for healing.

As a licensed psychotherapist, board certified executive and life coach, spiritual mentor, author, writer, poet, artist and mindfulness teacher, I believe healing begins when we feel deeply seen, heard and understood.

My clinical work is grounded in a depth-oriented, existential, humanistic and client-centered approach that honors the inherent wisdom within every individual. My primary focus is creating a safe, compassionate and trusting relationship where clients feel emotionally secure enough to explore their inner world without judgment.

Building trust is the foundation of every therapeutic relationship. I believe lasting transformation emerges when people feel safe enough to slow down, become curious about their experiences and reconnect with themselves. Rather than telling clients what they should do, I walk beside them as they cultivate greater self-awareness, strengthen their personal agency and discover their own authentic path toward healing, resilience and meaningful change.

I do not believe people need to be “fixed.” I believe they need to be deeply understood. From that place of safety, compassion and authentic connection, healing naturally unfolds.

My work integrates psychology, mindfulness, spirituality, creativity and the restorative wisdom of nature. Whether we meet through psychotherapy, executive coaching, A Meaningful Conversation with Sue™, The Wisdom Circle™ or at Pink Light Sanctuary, my intention is always the same—to help you reconnect with yourself with greater clarity, courage, compassion and authenticity.

Beyond my clinical work, I have always been a writer, artist and lifelong student of the human spirit.

I am the co-author of Big Bold Business Advice: New Jersey Women Business Owners and Big Bold Business Advice: U.S. Women Business Owners. I am currently writing two deeply personal books: The BabyDoll Chronicles: A Memoir of Faith, Betrayal & Becoming and Remind Me What I Love, reflections on healing, hope and returning to what matters most.

Poetry has been a lifelong companion and continues to inspire my writing through Sacred Rising Wisdom™, where I share reflections on healing, nature, spirituality and the extraordinary wisdom found in ordinary moments.

Creativity is woven throughout my life. As an artist, I specialize in painting handcrafted metal angel wings, each one created as a symbol of hope, remembrance, healing, protection and transformation.

For me, psychotherapy, writing, art and nature are not separate callings…they are expressions of the same purpose: helping people remember who they truly are.

After more than four decades in practice, I remain deeply humbled by the trust my clients place in me. It is a privilege to witness people reclaim their lives, rediscover their strengths and remember the wisdom that has always lived within them.

Healing begins with presence.

Wisdom arises from within.

Transformation begins with trust.
