Therapy for the Whole Person: Body, Mind, Spirit, Culture
Opening Your Heart... To Yourself
Tired of Talk Therapy? Bored with Behaviorism? Sick of being Stuck?

There are ways to end your discomfort. You can make friends with your pain, move through it and thrive, like the Phoenix rising from the ashes. With a wise and loving guide you can find your way through your life story and beyond it into health.

You can release emotions that have been stuck in your body your whole life opening you to a peaceful place within, because you are already loved and forgiven. You can release your shame and befriend yourself. I would like to help.

I've been a psychotherist for 40+ years; I'm skilled in many approaches, ancient and modern. I love what I do, and am told that I'm very good at it. Often, people are helped by me after other approaches failed, filled with pain, fear and sadness; even with histories of trauma.

Freud said that a therapist cannot take her clients deeper than she herself has gone. I face my own issues, so as to be clear, compassionate and without judgement. This powerful work is grounded in reality... And it WORKS.

Bio
I grew up in New York City in the 1960s, where I was active in the anti-war, civil rights and feminist movements. I came to realize that in order to see the results of my efforts, I would need to work with a "face-to-face" community, and thus became a psychotherapist. I have never regretted that decision.

The most powerful teachings, in therapy and in life have been my own work on myself in a wholistic manner, and having parented child who grew up to be a beautiful, healthy, wise and kind adult, whom I am proud to know.

I currently live in Suburban Massachusetts, where I love my garden, and I knit, read and walk in the woods. I have come to love my quiet, contemplative life. I do yoga and meditate, and I teach meditation skills.
