My therapy practice is located in Wellesley and Concord MA at the Psychotherapy Collaborative.  For over 25 years I have worked with adults in individual therapy and have also run divorce support groups for men and women.  As a Focusing oriented therapist I see how this mindful practice deepens the therapy process in gentle and respectful ways.  Focusing  teaches self compassion and patience as people work on difficult issues;  they learn to attend to their body sense of a life  situation which can open pathways for growth and change. 

I enjoy teaching Focusing to small groups and to individuals for personal enrichment.

Focusing and Somatic Experiencing with individuals, online and in-person.

In my practice with individuals, I offer Guided Focusing sessions and Somatic Experiencing therapy. With Focusing I help you access and communicate with the knowing in your body which can lead to clarity, forward movement, and a sense of inner authority. Somatic Experiencing supports you in developing your strengths as well resolving physically-bound trauma from the body. It can feel like you are gently unwinding and awakening.

I have been teaching Focusing workshops and classes in the Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts for over 10 years and am now offering them online as well.

I enjoy collaborating with people in the design and facilitation of exploratory “deep dives” in group settings to:
-Engage social issues and collective healing (Social Alchemy),
-Access expanded dimensions of experiencing through Focusing and other processes.

 Since 1985, I have trained in practices that encourage individual and collective emergence including Focusing, NVC, Integral Theory, Dynamic Facilitation, Open Dialogue, and Systemic Constellations. 

I seek ways to bring together the energy and commitment of activists, the guidance and sensitivity of intuitives, and paradigms and processes from various healing traditions, to help us engage the intense challenges of our times.

Focusing provides many wonderful benefits, but my favorite is Finding-Fresh-Air in difficult dilemmas. By using my felt-senses as my GPS, I can uncover my very own small steps forward to creative options that give me a renewed sense of hope and resiliency.

Perhaps you, too, would like to gently explore how to find clarity amid confusion, comfort amid heartache, or laughter amid misfortune? I can be your Focusing guide to more Fresh-Air inside. I hold most of my sessions on Zoom.

I help people to reconnect with the life they would like to live. Through getting in touch with their emotions and releasing them, they can find a fresh creative energy within. Most of my clients seek help with anxiety, excessive worries, depression, trauma, addiction or just a difficult relationship situation. I enjoy connecting with my clients and emphasize the power of a strong therapeutic relationship. I don’t promote “talking” therapy only. As a Focusing Certified Trainer I invite clients to feel their emotions directly in the body, to achieve a felt shift, relief and attunement with their intuition. “One step in the body is worth a thousand steps in the mind.” (Eugene Gendlin)
