After more than 30 years as a therapist, I’ve learned that therapy is rarely about simply “fixing” a problem. Often, we reach a point in life when the ways we have been coping no longer work, or when circumstances change and we need to figure out who we are and what we want next.
I work especially well with adults navigating complicated life transitions—changes in relationships, family, work, identity, aging, or the roles we have spent years fulfilling for other people. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who have managed a great deal but have reached a point where they want a place to slow down and take stock.
I am also a trained leader for the Safe Conversations method for enhancing relationships. This method helps couples (and anyone in relationships) to practice healthier and more robust communication, and to grow in awareness and understanding for each other.
I am also a writer about gender equality philanthropy, which means I follow closely grantmaking and funding for a wide variety of issues including gender-based violence, harassment in the workplace, non-binary gender identity development and advocacy, gender equality in media, government, and the private sector.
