"We have three of Ruth's photos. Two hang in the psychotherapy office my wife and I share. The third is in our vacation home at the beach.
Her eye for natural beauty and quietude comes through in her work. Her photos are images of peace and tranquility. I love her use of color, which contributes to the feeling tone she creates.
Ruth's photographs help me see what I might not otherwise see ... familiar images in a whole new way."

David Cooper, Ph.D., Psychoanalyst, Bethesda, Maryland

"Ruth's photo of a gate in Provence hangs above the analytic couch in my office.... I think I chose this photograph for its metaphor - the threshold we cross when we enter into treatment, and the knowledge we all possess that some part of us is hidden, shadowy and very old."

Martha Dupecher, MSW, Ph.D., McLean, Virginia

"Waiting rooms and consulting rooms are liminal spaces in different ways. I am delighted to have Ruth's photographs in both spaces in my psychoanalytic psychotherapy office.

Ruth's photographic eye is very much informed by her therapist mind. Her work has made of my office space a place I experience as healing in its own right."

Christine Erskine, MSW, LICSW, Washington, DC
