| In therapy, as in life, it is in relationships
with others that we are able to see that which is otherwise obscure. As a therapist, it is
my job to help reveal the blind spots that may go unnoticed without the added perspective
of the “other.” It is through the therapeutic connection that I hope to help my
clients appreciate, learn from and enjoy other human connections in their lives. I am
interested in understanding people by asking good questions and paying close attention to
verbal and non-verbal styles of communication. I attempt to help illuminate that which
moves people both positively and negatively in ways they wish to move and sometimes in
ways they do not. I believe deeply in the power of awareness as a prerequisite for choice
either to change or to embrace and value what is.
As a therapist I like to create a safe and accepting space for my clients to explore,
grow, dispel old shame, and discover what is truly important to them. I am honored to be a
fellow traveler with clients as they find meaning to their lives and shift from automatic
behavior to making conscious choices with awareness.
To each therapeutic relationship I bring not only my training and background as a
psychotherapist but the other important experiences in my life as well. I have been in a
long and successful marriage, and with my husband of thirty-one years, have raised two now
grown children. With these experiences have come wisdom, and the humility that can arise
only from living through the challenges of adult life. I am happy to join my clients in
their efforts to make and find meaning in their lives as they navigate through their own
waters. |
