Orientation &
Approach
| I believe in
the hear and now of the therapeutic relationship with the complexity
of dreams, hopes, disappointments, and specific circumstances we
bring to it. My approach is warm, strength-based,
down-to-earth. As fitting, I call upon my training in various
therapies: psychodynamic, cognitive, DBT (dialectical behavior
therapy), EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), EFT
(emotionally focused therapy). I experience us all grappling with
the same needs: to feel connection and security, to allow ourselves
and others to honor the vulnerability and strengths, the dependency
and the autonomy necessary in our relationships. I work to help
strengthen the positive in clients' relationships through an
exploration of feelings and issues which may be keeping clients
stuck in uncomfortable positions.

Personal
Comments
| For over 25
years, I have worked with adults, adolescents, and children in
finding the words, the tools, the gestures, and the visions to
communicate needs and yearnings. In the early years of my formation,
communication meant poetry and foreign languages and finding the
right fit between person and environment. At the time I was living
in Europe and my goal was to create a safe place for myself and
others and to facilitate "language" as a means of daily
survival. When I returned to the States, my role as therapist was
greatly informed by my early literary work, as well as by my
background with antiques, artifacts, and history. I believe I
am still assisting clients with the reaching to understand roots and
the ability to see ourselves in the mirror of
"difference", that is, as different from others, in a very
real way, as with religious, ethnic, sexual minorities or in one's
perception of self. In this way, we better perceive who we are and
how we adapt and stretch ourselves and our environment from the
outside and the inside.
