Writer John O'Donohue defines my view of being a therapist: "This is what therapy is about: helping people retrieve what has been lost to them, wakening and bringing home their fundamental wholesomeness.. 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, teens and their parents, adults across the decades of life, multi-generational families. I specialize in end-of-life, bereavement support, spiritual psychology, compassionate-focused therapy, expressive arts, play in therapy, and mindfulness-based stress reduction for trauma, loss and grieving.
I have taught expressive arts in therapy, grief counseling, and Pastoral Care to ministers in training. I am noted as a Collaborator in “Family Caregiver Distress” published by Hogrefe in 2023. This being human is a gift. Come and explore how to live your life to the fullest.
