“I am circling around God, around the ancient tower, and I have been circling for a thousand years and I still don’t know if I am a falcon, or a great storm, or a great song.”

Rainer M. Rilke

Welcome to my website.  Please take a few minutes to acquaint yourself with some serious or light reading.

Professionally, I am a practicing Human Relations Counselor and a Certified Group Psychotherapist in the counseling field for 31 years.  I am on the board of the Philadelphia Area Group Psychotherapy Society and have a private practice at 30 South Valley Road, Suite 207, Paoli, PA 19301 - just 5 minutes from Route 252 South and Lancaster Avenue or a 5 Minute walk from the Paoli Train Station.  I am available by phone or in person. I am a Leader of Simple Abundance and Peace and Plenty Workshops and have ongoing Artist Way Groups.

I work with individuals, couples and groups to explore where people’s sadness or anxiety originates.  Sometimes it’s situational and sometimes it’s from pain or trauma from the families we grew up in.  I also work within religious communities.

I work with adults 20 years and older.  My counseling is spiritually driven and clinically sound.  I am also an artist who believes we are all fellow travelers on a journey to discover our gifts and passions and to use them creatively, productively and meaningfully.

I am a grief specialist by clinical training and personal experience.  I lost a beautiful daughter to a brain tumor she managed for 10 years.  I have written about that experience and was published in Oct. 2008 by Simple Abundance Press, Sarah Ban Breathnach, Publisher who believes its message will make it the classic book on grief and hope after loss.  In January, 2009, foreign rights were contracted with St. Pauls and Better Yourself Books in Mumbai, India, English version.  It’s distribution is in India, Sri Lanka, The Philippines, Malaysia and Africa.  It is called When Every Day Matters: A Mother’s Memoir on Love, Loss and Life.

I would love to help you.  Call me for a 20 minute free consultation.
