Introducing the Art of Listening

• Eileen's Bio

  For over 25 years I practiced depth psychotherapy in the rich collegial community of my hometown, Washington D.C. At least once a year, I spent quiet time in the York Harbor cove of southern Maine. Summers spent exploring this rocky coast as a kid affected me indelibly.

  Given my native sensitivities and intellectual curiosity, I pursued a helping profession that would allow and equip me to go on and on learning how to assist human healing and development. There is a fine and quality of life-defining line between our psychology and our spirituality for me and this belief guides my practice.

  Three years ago, my family and I moved to live in Maine, and I am delighted to be living and working, empowered by technology, in the seaside village where Mother Nature rules and I feel most at home.   

  I’ve worked with the range of presenting problems — loneliness, low self-esteem, existential anxiety, family of origin experience, trauma and the multigenerational transmission of it, purpose in work, hunger for intimacy, relationship difficulties, un-resolving grief, anxiety, depression, emptiness, issues with eating and sleeping and day to day energy, adult children of drug/alcohol dependent parents, and others.  There are so many ways to think and talk about ‘suffering’.

  I have a special interest in working with people who have tried and been disappointed by previous efforts to seek the help they feel they need — whether with physicians, other mental health professionals, lawyers, coaches, spiritual leaders, or any kind of other.
