"I bring more than thirty years of deep practice, a wide range of skills, genuine warmth — and the humility of someone who has also done her own work."

My path has been anything but linear. I began my professional life as an artist and community activist, creating large-scale public murals within New York City’s social justice movement and teaching art to people of all ages. Work created with the collective Artmakers, including a subway installation, is permanently archived at NYU. My sculptural ceramic work has been held in the private collections of Gloria Steinem and Ramsey Clark, and my work has been featured in The New York Times.

​

I loved how creative expression opened pathways to self-discovery, healing, and transformation. Over time, this understanding led me more deeply into psychology, spirituality, and the healing professions.

​

For several decades, I have worked as a licensed psychotherapist and spiritual director, integrating clinical and spiritual perspectives in my work with individuals, couples, families, and groups when appropriate. My training and practice primarily draw from Jungian Sandplay, Gestalt therapy, Buddhist psychology, trauma-informed practices, somatic intelligence, and interspiritual counseling. I have a strong connection to attachment theory, particularly the role of relationship and repair as foundations for healing and transformation.

​

I have also served as a clinical director, educator, and trainer, designing and leading professional training programs for therapists and other helping professionals. For ten years, I was Director of the Interspiritual Counseling Program at One Spirit Interfaith Alliance, where I developed and led a rigorous two-year clinical training program preparing students to integrate psychological, spiritual, and contemplative approaches into their work. I have also designed and taught continuing education programs, training licensed therapists in a range of clinical and spiritually integrated approaches.

​

Alongside my clinical practice, I have led retreats and educational programs in India, Malta, South Africa, and throughout the Hudson Valley. My work has also extended beyond private practice to include incarcerated individuals, frontline workers, veterans, leaders of color, and healers in need of healing.

​

Throughout these offerings, people have come to me at significant passages in their lives — young adults seeking their authentic direction, parents navigating family life, elders entering deeper passages of aging, along with creatives, therapists, leaders, and spiritual seekers longing to live more consciously and authentically.

​

My capacity to move seamlessly among clinical therapy, mentoring, coaching, and, when appropriate, spiritual exploration is part of what makes my practice unique. More than one client has affectionately referred to this as my “Mary Poppins Bag” — a wide and varied collection of tools, perspectives, and practices that I draw upon in response to each person’s unique unfolding. I bring forward what is most relevant and alive in the moment, rather than applying a single approach to every client.

​

This same commitment to presence and community led me, at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, to launch a daily meditation practice. I led it seven days a week for the first year and a half, and it continues today, now in its sixth year, as a daily offering held by a team of ministers and healers. It has become a living expression of what sustained spiritual presence and community can offer, particularly in times of uncertainty.

​

At the heart of my work is the meeting place between psychology, spirituality, and creativity — a place where healing is about accessing and living into our innate wholeness, beauty, and core essence, which is always present, albeit sometimes obscured.

​

Rediscovering our innate wholeness is where inner resilience takes root, and where we can begin to live a life anchored in purpose and passion.
