A Few Notes on My Professional Journey
I have been licensed and in private practice
since 2000 and you will find details of my education and professional
development in my CV. However, my psychotherapy work is not just the
result of my education; rather it is mostly the result of the
mentorship and influence of two wonderful and talented clinicians:
Judith Jordan, Ph.D., is the co-founder
of the Stone Center and the Wellesley Center for Women and author of
several books on relational psychotherapy, trauma and women’s issues.
Judith mostly thought me about relational and trauma work. Judith is a
true mentor to me. I met her more than ten years ago and was
immediately taken by her intelligence, incredible presence, and
comfort with her boundaries and clinical choices. She exudes a sense
of having seen it all and being comfortable with it all. Judith has
contributed to creating a new perspective on women psychology and
clinical treatment of women’s issues. She is a gentle and wise
revolutionary. Her presence in my life has changed the way in which I
think about myself, my work, and my clients.
Narayan Liebenson-Grady, is a guiding
teacher at the Insight Meditation Center in Barre, Massachusetts and
at the Cambridge Insight Meditation Center. Narayan is not a clinician
in the way we use this word in this culture, her training in not
through academic professional networks, and includes over 30 years
practicing in the Theravada tradition as well as in Chan with the late
Master Sheng Yen. I have learned some of the most profound
professional lessons from Narayan as well as some life-changing
clinical skills. Narayan is a healer and a woman of great
spirituality, the kind of person whose presence does not go unnoticed
even when she is just slowly walking barefoot in silence in the same
room with you. Through her teachings I have come to a much deeper
understanding of the sources of human suffering and of the path
towards freeing ourselves of such suffering. |
