Life seems intense, overwhelming, or stressful right now. Fear, anger, and exhaustion are familiar emotions. Your parent/boss/spouse just doesn't get it and you don't know how to explain it to them. Perhaps you're questioning your identity, coming out to your family or to your child(ren), experiencing separation/divorce, ready to transition, or coping with loss. You want a safe place to discuss and leave behind feelings of loneliness, sadness, and confusion. You want to figure out a way to get through the week (the day!) and the next. You want relief. You want to be understood. Let's talk. Your first phone consultation is free.
I offer a supportive, comforting, and non-confrontational style to assist your exploration and determination. I specialize in LGBTQIA, multicultural parenting, arts-related issues (performance anxiety, physical injuries), and identity development. I am available evenings and weekends to accommodate your schedule.
About me: Born in Brooklyn, NY, and raised in the Northeast. I earned a performance degree from New England Conservatory of Music, MA, and master's degrees in ethnomusicology and clinical social work from The University of Chicago, IL.
