About My Clients

I tend to serve LGBTQIA + and other folks who feel somehow different (creatives, sensitives, neurodivergent people, disabled people, multicultural backgrounds) from the flock as well as those going through life changes bringing long back-burnered parts of them to the forefront that need attention.

My Background and Approach

To my practice I bring 20 years as a theatre and storytelling artist/facilitator in NYC and Oregon, 10+ years as a Reiki therapist and Life Coach, my training and experience as the Mental Health Counselor in a by us for us clinic for LGBTQIA2S people in Portland's Q Center, and six years in private practice. My work is Client-Centered, Trauma-Informed, and Multiculturally-Affirming. I am Jewish and issues of antisemitism are close to my heart. My practice has a broad sliding scale, but currently only have $100-150 cash-pay openings.
