How I Work
The "work" of therapy involves listening, exploring, risking, trusting, nurturing, challenging, reframing, empowering, laughing, waiting, hoping, healing, becoming. Empathy and insight are the primary tools. It is a collaborative journey, this "soul-searching."
I have been privileged to work with diverse clients of many colors, creeds,
cultures and sexual orientations, as well as with believers, non-believers and seekers.
Each person is unique. Some of the approaches I rely upon include
insight-oriented psychotherapy, the practice of meditation and mindfulness, and
a focus on relationships, incorporating my background in couples and family
therapy. With couples I use many different approaches, including Imago Therapy.
My therapist husband John and I sometimes do joint counseling with couples.
I occasionally perform marriages, including interfaith and same sex, usually for
clients I have worked with.
