The Delaware Counseling Center

The Delaware Counseling Center For over two decades, I have counseled women & couples who are struggling with infertility, complicated high risk pregnancies and both pregnancy and baby loss.

I will help you understand how to live again. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 20 years. I received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology from LaSalle University where I graduated with honors. I earned my Masters Degree in Social Work from Rutgers University, and specialized in Children and Families. I trained under the world-renowned Dr. Alice Domar at the Domar Center for Mind-Body Health in utilizing mind-body techniques to enhance general well-being and fertility. I spent numerous years working in the adoption field conducting home-studies and post-placement visits for both international and domestic adoption prior to starting a private practice 16 years ago to concentrate on women's issues. My career has been dedicated to helping individuals and couples choose how to build their family, and I feel strongly that everyone who wants to be a parent will somehow, someday, become a parent. Working in the adoption and infertility fields has proven to me that there are different paths that lead to parenting. I have a special interest in working with 2nd and 3rd trimester losses, and I am honored to be widely known as the “go to” therapist for both pregnancy and infant loss. My professional affiliations include the American Society for Reproductive Medicine’s Mental Health Professional Group, and the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of Resolve. I was appointed to the State of Delaware’s Fetal and Infant Mortality Review Team for two years and then earned the prestigious title of "Top 10 Therapists in Delaware" from www.healthgrades.com. I attribute the success of my private practice to my own personal struggles with infertility and loss. I welcome the opportunity to help you through this difficult time, and look forward to establishing a therapeutic relationship with you as you move along in your journey.

Making a commitment to serve on the Board of Directors at Julia’s Light Foundation was an easy decision for me. I am surrounded by a group of brilliant women who share my passion for serving bereaved parents in NCC and Southeastern PA. We are always looking for both men and women to join the committees that we are currently creating and we would love to partner with local non-profits and medical providers who treat and support women who are pregnant and postpartum.

I would like to thank Julia’s Light Board of Directors for their commitment and dedication to our initiatives and goals. They all worked hard to ensure the Wave of Light was a beautiful night for the families in our community. This is one amazingly talented and special group of women! Thank you!

I woke up this morning to a text from a former patient who saw her son in the clouds. I went outside to see a breathtaking sight of pinks & blues. It was a sign that our babies are with us.

While we honor Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month for the entire month of October, today marks the most sacred day. At 7pm tonight, parents, grandparents, siblings and our friends will be lighting candles to make one continuous Wave of Light around the world. We connect to honor all of the babies that left this earth too soon.

Tonight, I am honored to be the presenter in Delaware, sponsored by Julia’s Light Foundation to share my personal testimony as a mother of an Angel Baby, but I will also be sharing some of the most important lessons I have learned as the first provider in the state of DE to focus on treating women & couples who have experienced Pregnancy and Infant Loss.

Today, I honor you and your babies. After 20 years of counseling, my heart still aches as I help you navigate the most difficult journey of your life. Please join me at 7pm tonight and leave your baby’s name here, along with a picture of your candle or a video of your candle burning.

October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month. Contrary to the Cape Gazette’s erroneous reporting, The Delaware Chapter of the TEARS Foundation hosts the annual family friendly Rock & Walk to help DE families who have experienced Pregnancy or Infant Loss. The Rock & Walk is a wonderful event that raises money to help DE families with funeral costs for those who have experienced perinatal loss. We would love for you to join us!

Today is the last day to register for the Wave of Light event, sponsored by Julia’s Light Foundation .

As I finish my presentation, I would love to hear your answers to two questions.

1. What is one thing you would like people to know about losing your baby?

2. What is one thing you wish you had known or wish had happened after you lost your baby?

I am so very honored to be the speaker at the Wave of Light event, sponsored by Julia’s Light Foundation , whose mission is close to my heart. We would love for you to join us at this intimate, adults-only, candlelight vigil to honor all of our babies that were taken too soon. If you can't make it to the event, please reach out if you would like your baby/ies names read out loud. Be on the lookout for additional information about the Wave of Light 2025.

We hope you can join us for The Wave of Light on Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day. It’s a special candle lighting ceremony.

If you cannot make it or would prefer to light a candle at home, still register to have your baby’s/babies’ name read during the ceremony. Ages 13 and older can attend. Let’s light up the night with love.

I am thrilled to report that a miracle has happened to me personally! Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, I have not only survived, but I am stronger than ever. I see women and couples who are struggling with reproductive health issues including infertility, high risk pregnancies, and recurrent pregnancy & baby loss. I have over 20 years of experience helping people navigate their most difficult journeys, and I am proud and humbled by the many referrals I receive from my former clients. Therapy with me is intimate and I develop authentic relationships with everyone I partner with. My website is under construction. Stay tuned…

October 15th holds a special place in my heart. I lit a candle at 7pm tonight, joining mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and all of the people who support us, as we created an international wave of light. Our candles mark our unity and grief as we honor all of our babies that were taken too soon.
October marks Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month and today is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day.
