People to Watch: Hudson Valley
January 26, 2012 | 
Author This was one of the best welcomes I have ever had, or could hope to have. While I'm still missing New Mexico terribly, this article about Verbal First Aid, The Next Osama, and my general practice as a psychotherapist and homeopath certainly took some of the sting out.

A Personal Case for Homeopathy Part II
After the debate with my last articles on this topic, I find I couldn't agree with the critics more. Homeopathy is strange and sounds magical. When I try to explain it to people — despite years of study and personal/professional experience — I wind up sounding like my worst woo-woo nightmare, stumbling over words like "energy," "resonance" and "organism."

A Personal Case for Classical Homeopathy
Part 1 of a 2-Part Series on How To Explain (or Not) Classical Homeopathy
The American Sound Bite
Out of nowhere, my husband turned to me and said, “I wish you’d tell me what you do so I can tell other people. They ask me what you do and I can’t explain it.”

A Primer in Classical Homeopathy: How to Make the Interview Easier and More Productive
(this is an expanded version of the piece currently on Huffington Post)
I’ve been a psychotherapist for 25 years. I believe it’s an important part of my job to make my clients as comfortable as possible from the first phone contact. Despite all reasonable efforts, though, the first interview seems to still be somewhat awkward and difficult for new patients. Really, it’s very understandable. They don’t know me. They feel vulnerable and unsure because they don’t know exactly what’s expected. They’re sometimes not even fully clear about why they’re there except they know they want to feel better.

Zinc Zonks the Snuffles.
Once again, my colleague has sent out a notice worth posting. I'd like to add a note of my own for those who are using homeopathy: Zinc has also been found to suppress symptoms when the "cold" is an aggravation. Just a word of caution, not a contraindication of any kind to its use. If you have a question, check with your allopathic doctor or homeopath.

Radiating Concern? Some Reassurance…
This is from a colleague who is an expert in biochemistry and human physiology, as well as other sciences. I am going to be posting more from this person in the near future. I will always mention it, but this person prefers to remain anonymous. Suffice it to say, that I would not be posting it on my page if I didn't believe in its veracity and in the skill of the professional.

Verbal First Aid and Classical Homeopathy
This is an excerpt from a recently published article in Homeopathy Today (2010). It was truly one of the best editing and writing experiences I've had. The people at HT are some of the best I've worked with.

Stillness and Trusting in God? Yegads.
Be Still & Know That I Am God.
Be still…It’s really such a simple request and such an impossibly difficult task for so many of us as we get older and more acculturated. It certainly has been for me. I can barely talk on the phone for 15 minutes without washing the dishes or multi-tasking in some other way. America is a culture of action. We do. We don’t sit.

On The Way to Becoming A Healer: The Journey of a Young Social Worker
(This article is dedicated to R.M. who inspired it. Thank you for reminding me of what we are supposed to be doing.) 
For some reason lately I have been seeing quite a number of brand new social workers for supervision, some of whom are still in graduate school. It has been a poignant and privileged rite of passage for me after all these years to be passing on what I’ve learned.
