Whatever is stealing your joy and fulfillment, we can get it back. Illness, infidelity, insecurity, insults, and injustices are welcome topics we can explore together. Let my decades of experience and education help you find what you need to grow beyond any conflicts, inner struggles, or pain. I spent decades working with and teaching others how to help individuals, couples, families, and institutions. Through humor, humanistic care, and humility, my practice helps heal what was broken and bruised. Life can get better. Change can happen. Let's work together.
My practice integrates psychoanalysis, trauma-informed care, pastoral counseling, family systems, and social justice frameworks—informed by over 40 years of clinical, academic, and community leadership. My goal is to offer not only symptom relief but also deep, transformative work that honors the whole person.
I hear the weight you carry—the hidden wounds, the roles you uphold, the story you've been living but didn’t choose. You don’t have to hold it all alone. I listen with heart, clinical depth, and a life’s work in helping people embrace the beauty life offers. Your healing is possible. Let’s find a way together to go beyond pain to healing and good health.
