My office is a safe place to heal from deep pain and dark secrets and resolve emotionally complex situations. I can help you move on and chart a new course. I am very relaxed and informal. I am not conventional, stuffy, or judgmental. Not churchy. I work quietly and deeply. I work well with sensitive people troubled by their minds, feelings, and personal or societal unrest. I can help you set healthier boundaries with family, work, friends, and lovers. Only telehealth appointments are open for the foreseeable future.
You are my specialty. Seriously. I am really good at understanding who you are, how you function, and what will help you maximize your life. 40 years of experience. Nonjudgmental. Open. Caring. Wise enough. Nothing (much) freaks me out anymore. I can go into dark complexity or sexual weirdness with you. And, simple life adjustments are ok, too.
If you worry that you are too weird or too complicated to help, just stop. You are home. It's OK. I've been in therapy, too. I still get stuck, too, just like you. Everybody does. Think you are too broken, too stuck? Nope. In my office, there is hope & there is healing. Let's roll. Chinga la Migra. Trans Rights Matter. Believe Women. Black Lives Matter.
