This defines my view of being a therapist: “One of the greatest privileges of the human being is to become a midwife to the birth of the soul of another person. This is what therapy is about: helping people retrieve what has been lost to them, wakening and bringing home their fundamental wholesomeness” (from Plato’s Symposium). John O’Donohue continues: “Therapists are like poets: they draw on the power of words in the profoundly creative work of bringing people fully alive to themselves, awakening in them the human capacity for divine imagination that ‘dreams our completion’.” My practice serves children as young as 5 years old, Moms and their toddlers, teens and their parents, adults and families. I specialize in end-of-life, bereavement and spiritual psychology. I am trained in expressive arts, play therapy, compassion-focused therapy, trauma, loss and grieving. I have taught expressive arts therapy (YWCA Counseling Center), grief counseling (JFK University), Pastoral Ca
