I have learned that living from joy is about letting intuition take the lead and then trusting it with my life.

“There is such a thing as a spirit of place. The energy of a particular parcel of land, a lake, a mountain, a meadow, a stand of trees, a forest. When we stand still and absorb it, we are filled with the essence of that place, and it is carried with us. In this way, the land becomes a teacher, guiding us toward our best selves.”
Richard Wagamese in Embers

Happy 2024.

Yesterday in Maine. An opportunity to practice So Hum.

Yesterday I spent the day in the woods of Maine, stopping in SPortland for Gabriel's class at Maine Hatha Yoga (the hottest studio north of NYC). I need these reprieves--mini silent retreats that I take periodically to clear and ground. So that I can listen better.

And then there were the police cars racing north and texts from loved ones who knew I was in Maine.

A day where the tension of opposites were present. I can practice So Hum by placing the heartbreak of the world in one hand and my joy in the other...and bring them both into my heart. And hold them there. Holding the contrasts in my heart. And practice Santosha. Even when humanity is inhumane. Especially when.

About Me

I have specialized as a substance abuse clinician since 1991. I received a Master's Degree from Yale University in 1988. I received clinical training at Yale-New Haven Hospital and later began a career as a substance abuse clinician at The Yale Psychiatric Institute and as a research associate for the Department of Psychiatry at Yale Medical School in the area of addiction prevention and treatment. As a research associate at Yale Medical School, I worked on several projects, including the development of a medical detoxification protocol for op**te dependence. I have also worked collaboratively to develop models for outpatient and hospital-based intensive outpatient programs. I have enjoyed a broad range of experience working with adults, families, and adolescents at all levels of ASAM care.

I believe that the purpose of therapy is to facilitate growth in self-acceptance and self-awareness. We work together as a team to find the most suitable methods to facilitate your ability to create the life you want to live. Of course, any kind of personal growth provides "side-effects" that may feel uncomfortable at first; but lasting and meaningful change ultimately leads to a more purposeful and joyful life.

In addition to individual outpatient sessions, I am a strong advocate of body centered therapies that include yoga, meditation, energy work, art, nature, play, and infra-slow neurofeedback (McGarty & Associates).

I am not the type of provider who is going to sit in the chair, and ask you "How does that make you feel?," and then "Hmmm," and nod back at you. I am interested in addressing where my own and others' inner resistance to happiness and wholeness resides; exploring self-imposed limits; and moving out of fear into the freedom that is every person's birthright.
