If you’re here perusing these therapist profiles, it’s probably because something’s not quite right. Maybe you hate your job, feel stuck in it, or have trouble finding one that feels congruent for you. Maybe it’s some turbulence occurring in your relationship– or the absence of a relationship when you long for one. Or perhaps something awful happened and you just can’t get it out of your head.

It can be both rewarding and vulnerable to begin or continue therapy: I create a warm, non-judgmental space for reworking old patterns that may not serve you anymore. Life experiences, environment, circumstances, and cultural systems of power all shape our understanding of ourselves, of others, and of the world around us. Together we can explore what matters to you most, where you may feel stuck and how you can find more ease. To inform our work, I primarily draw on your history and relational experiences, your own body’s feedback, information from contemporary neuroscience, and our in-session interactions.

With care, and with gentle yet intense encounters, we navigate through the difficult times in the person's life. Our work together and the intimacy of the here and now is about healing life's wounds more so than managing life's difficulties; it is the healing that brings ease to life stresses.

Struggling with depression or anxiety? Breaking patterns is hard, but you know you want change and meaningful redirection. Painful memories and recurrent conflict can strain relationships. Work stress gets in the way of being present and feeling fulfilled. People often work with me to get things moving when they feel blocked or stuck, to develop calm where uncertainty has them off balance. Our work will reveal insight to restore stability, address trauma, and change outlook towards realizing an improved sense of self. Together we can work to identify and harness strength, addressing challenges with new clarity and inspiration.

Doing psychotherapy is a lot like playing jazz: The challenge for me as therapist is to stay in tune with the patient's own creative, self-healing process and to provide a safe container ("rhythm section"). The patient's life narratives are the "melodies" to be composed, developed, & improvised. My ideal patient is motivated to show up and do the work involved in creating/healing and to allow the therapeutic relationship to support the work. My private practice (The Androgyny Center) serves adult patients of all genders. I also do consultations with families and professionals regarding developmental issues re gender and sexual orientation.

*Currently accepting new clients* "Time heals all wounds." Or does it? The problem with this saying is it's just not true. What they mean is over time, we push down how we feel, lodging our trauma deep into our psyches. We develop "baggage." Sound familiar? As a result, we become less alive, less vibrant, and more disconnected from ourselves. I know because I've been there. With meditation, therapy, and a bit of grace, I found my way out. Now, I help people in their late teens, 20s, and 30s drop the baggage for good so they too can live happy, successful, and authentic lives. I welcome LGBTQ+ and BIPOC folks.

The challenges and complexities of your day-to-day life may have lead you here. The traumas, losses, and heartaches of the past have, too.
