About My Clients
----- TIRED? Is your body telling you to rest? Do you fear that if you lie down, you won't be able to get up again? To care for the people you love and who depend on you? ----- WANT RELIEF? When your day slows down, do your thoughts pick up? Do painful memories and fears rush in? Do you clench your jaw? Scroll through your phone? ----- SEEKING CLARITY? Do you wonder what you're doing and why you're doing it? Do you wonder how your patterns are adding to your pain and/or boosting your well-being?
My Background and Approach
----- When you say, "YES, I'm tired." When your family doctor has run all the tests and these come back clear, I provide a warm, respectful, and confidential space for you to attend to your well-being and to show up in your life as you desire. ----- When you say, "YES, I want relief." When you're ready for a change, I provide a space to pause and pivot. Together, we use the therapeutic hour to slow down, to better understand what you’re seeking relief from and to take steps toward peace. ----- When you say, "YES, I want clarity." When you're ready to invest in yourself and thereby in each relationship and venture, I provide a launching site, a space to be curious and bold. ----- Psychodynamic and systems orientations inform my clinical practice and how I understand you and your environment--with great humanity and humility. I offer curiosity and compassion while you work at offering these to yourself. I work with you to build new experiences today.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I welcome the reminder that my time is limited. Time with my health, with those I love, and to realize my dreams, is finite. Death reminds me to live, and I appreciate one consequence is that I am more intentional. Regarding social platforms, I provide free assessments and gender affirming surgery letters through the GALAP network in order to reduce barriers to accessing gender affirming care. I also donate funds to national racial justice work and to the local NPR station.
