Struggling? Exhausted? Feel like you're drowning behind closed doors? Not frivolous enough for AI therapy? Other therapists seem judgmental, don't get you, won't listen? With me you can talk about anything. I'll treat you with compassion, empathy, and care. I’m also forthright and candid, and much more tools-oriented than schools-oriented. I believe you're the expert in you - even if you're not yet aware of it - and my role is to help you find that, and bring my own holistic vision, experience, training, and expertise to the table. I'm the specialist to help you become the best possible, most fulfilled version of you, starting now.
My unique approach is no-nonsense, compassionate, and relational, to get you from "stuck" to "free," working flexibly in either long-term or short-term formats. I'm an expert in addressing: major stressors and trauma; sex, gender, and sexuality (positively); substance misuse; and different relationships in your life and their structures.
Non-insurance individual out-of-pocket fee $250 US. (UCR: $335.) By confidential video in US (CA, IL, & FL). 45 years’ experience in social health & social justice work, 18 years expertise in spiritual coaching & recovery, 12 years’ clinical & educating expertise (published) in psychotherapy & sexology.

I've helped hundreds of people, who've tried other methods but have been missing key integrative techniques, to go from feeling despondent over recurrent problems to being more confident in themselves - and their capacities to heal - by using my GHIQ system of applying tools from neuroscience, reprocessing experiences, and taking the reins of meaning in their lives.
