Finding the space to just be can be very hard. Especially if you feel like you don’t belong in that space; be it cultural, social, or political.

And I would be honored to be there and guide you as you embark on this path. I work with clients who are in transitional moments of their lives, whether it is entering a relationship, leaving one, or figuring out the in-between. Together, we can cultivate a space that will help you align with your true self.

I have 25 years experience working productively with people of diverse backgrounds, ages, and sexual orientations.

Please note, after years of counseling and assessment in offices, I‘ve recently moved into a different space: video. Active listening in a safe, private setting is foundational to this work. I’ve learned that the catalytic elements of good therapy can thrive via video too.

I'm a seasoned clinician, with advanced expertise in family and couples therapy. I also have a sub-specialty: treatment of the professional writer, artist and performing artist.

Most of us don't welcome difficult emotions; we try to disregard them, because we perceive them as our enemy. In fact, all of our emotions are signals that inform us about ourselves and the world around us, if we can learn to listen to them. When we accept all sides of ourselves and all of our feelings without discriminating against the negative ones, we are able to feel emotionally alive and connected. Psychological suffering occurs not because of our painful emotions, but because we try to erase them, and don't know what to do with them.
