Patricia Dunn-Fierstein was born and raised in Maryland, outside of Washington, D.C. Much of her education was in Catholic schools, including Catholic University of America. In her young adult years, she experienced living in Kentucky, Germany, and Switzerland. At twenty-eight, she settled in a small lakeside home outside of Tampa, Florida where she and her husband, Carl raised their two sons.
Patricia attended the Jung Institute in Zurich, Switzerland in 1983 and 1984 where she was introduced to Sandplay Therapy, which has been part of her professional work for her entire career. She has taught extensively in Florida and at national and international conferences.
Patricia has been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (SW-1575) in private practice in Tampa, Florida since 1985, a Certified Sandplay Therapist-Teacher through the International Society for Sandplay Therapy since 1995, and a trained EMDR therapist since 2003. In addition, she has extensive training and experience in the practices of mindfulness and contemplative prayer. She offers readings in Evolutionary Astrology, if interested.
Her other publication credits include a chapter in Supervision of Sandplay Therapy (Routledge 2007), several professional journal articles, and creative writing pieces in Sacred Journey and The Aspen Times.
Patricia would describe herself as a humble seeker (and finder) of wisdom and grace—one who enjoys trading discoveries with others along the journey. She hopes you will read Finding Grace and share the adventure with her.
