Clinical Social Work-Therapist
Using my feeling skills I aim to make a home for the struggles and the suffering while fostering the emerging direction at the edges of what is familiar and comfortable. The worldview that informs my practice is that challenges and conflict are a doorway to a more intimate relationship with life, an invitation to reach a deeper understanding of our innermost being and the world around us and that each person's best teacher is their inner process.
My background and training include Processwork, Clinical Social Work, Depth Psychology, Control Mastery Theory, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness, Existential Therapy, Postmodern Theory, Gender/Queer studies. The following poem conveys the deeper essence of my worldview: "This being human is a guesthouse. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression,a
meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexprected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they are a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably. Be grateful for whoever comes, each has been sent as a guide from beyond."
