What's in a name?
Why elephants?
Metaphors are key to my therapeutic approach. An elephant's steady walk invites our hearts to beat calmly, rather than sluggishly or frenzied. An elephant herd's strong connections reflect our own need for community, unmet for too many of us. Elephants communicate in uncanny, wordless ways, even over long distances; when we stretch beyond verbal communication, we access richly complex forms of knowing ourselves, each other, and the world in which we live.
