Living in a world of endless flux can make it difficult to reach out and seek help. I assess the forces that shape our psychological distress and consider how building upon empathy and connection can lead to a healthier state of being. My approach focuses on issues of identity, relationships, race, gender, class, and post-human development.
Life-challenging problems are my specialty. My years of experience as a therapist are based on clinical work, teaching and, of course, personal life and death lessons that we all encounter. The focus of treatment is to overcome obstacles that block your personal growth, injure healthy relationships and disrupt your well-being.
I provide therapy as a form of sanctuary, a time for healing and growth, a time of change that requires making smart choices and designing a meaningful life. We will begin by reducing stress, anxiety, negative behaviors. Then we move on to building a new foundation for a new you. I am dedicated to helping you overcome the past and prepare for the future.
