I am a highly respected licensed therapist, public speaker and author, whose expertise lies in the areas of, but is not limited to: Grief, Loss, Relationships, Self-Empowerment, Transitions and "Getting Beyond Life's Stuff." In 1971, I was told I would never walk again or be able to have children, after a devastating car accident. In 1988, I said goodbye to a beloved friend who died of cancer at the age of 26. In 1994, I divorced after years of being in a union that I thought would last a lifetime. It was not so much the loss of the person as it was the grieving of all my hopes and dreams that never manifested in that relationship. In 1995, my older brother was brutally murdered in Boston, an event that completely and utterly altered my life. In 1996, my former sister-in-law, an exceptionally close friend in her forties, died of an inoperable brain tumor that ravaged her body, leaving her 4 year old and 1 year old daughters motherless. Throughout my years I have gently lay to rest all of my beloved canines who have taught me how to love unconditionally and how to stay in the moment. I always cried as if it were the first time I ever lost those loving friends. I have seen and experienced profound moments of extreme joy and pain in my life. I have also overcome insurmountable odds when life seemed at its most insufferable.

To date I have conducted over 500 workshops all over the country & abroad, while operating a private practice in Boston, NY & Arizona. Most recognized for my unique & gifted approach to healing, I attempt with grace to teach others to tap into their personal power, grasping & gathering the threads of their lives, no matter how profoundly tragic or joyful their circumstances.

What I can offer to you is a warm, safe environment for individual and or group counseling sessions. Together, we will explore how struggle is a process from spiritual emptiness to spiritual wisdom, with hope being the end result. You will also come to discover that there are tremendous gifts in the struggle. It is what you choose to do with that pain that makes all the difference in the world. Ultimately, Hope will be the response to your personal struggle. I will take you from inner stagnation of emotional despair to glorious transformation and love. I invite you to take the risk, step out and be loved & nurtured to unearth a higher level of meaning in your life. You will embrace forgiveness and pain all in a matter of time, and in the end you will walk away with grace and a feeling of insurmountable joy and hope. Always remember, the spirituality of struggle gives birth to the spirituality of hope.

I am here as a guide to help you reach your answers. However, you must be willing to help yourself in this process. Whether it is an issue about loss, grief, relationship, self-esteem, addiction, or love, you will learn specific and nonjudgmental ways to ascertain a trust and a healthy reliance in yourself to break the negative patterns that keep you repeating the same lessons over and over again. You will emerge wiser, and you will reclaim a very deep and loving connection to yourself and to living. In the end, you will live your life with a quiet harmony. You will then begin to affirm from your soul a sense of great empowerment to embrace your pain and participate in life without harsh criticism. The greatest thing you have is Life, and where there is Life, there is also Hope.

It is with utmost integrity to work with you.
