For 30 years I had the privilege of being the Director of Project Return, a 7-bed group home for teenaged girls in crisis in Westport. During that time we provided a home for over 160 girls.
I worked with the girls and coached and supported parents in an effort to reunify families; interfaced with schools, therapists, and other resources. I hired, trained, and coached staff. We were a training site for graduate schools of social work. Currently, I am a social worker for Willows Pediatrics in Westport.
I listen deeply and bring you a wealth of experience and hard-earned wisdom, offering...
-
Empathy for how hard it is to parent,
-
A reservoir of skills and knowledge of what works with teenagers,
-
Understanding of the needs of teenagers: how to stay connected while setting healthy boundaries,
-
The difficulty of raising children in an affluent community,
-
A chance to reflect on how we were parented and what that means for our parenting,
-
Tools to reduce anxiety and to navigate blind spots and roadblocks,
-
A deep knowledge of life.
My goal is to partner with you to find ways to affirm, and utilize your strengths.
I look forward to talking with you.

Being Well with your Self, with your Work, and in your Soul
As a therapist or coach, I bring you a wealth of experience and wisdom. I can help you deal with important issues you may be struggling with as you grow toward "being well" in three areas:
-
At work, an increased ability to resolve conflict and facilitate growth in others. I have a background as an organization effectiveness consultant and leadership coach.
-
Less anxiety and greater self-worth/confidence. Trained as a psychotherapist, I have also worked through my own mid-life struggles with depression and anxiety.
-
Spiritual wellbeing: A deepening spiritual life and/or a strengthened sense of meaning or purpose in your life. A recently ordained minister, I have a disciplined meditation and contemplative prayer practice.
