I'm one of those people who chose a career early on, based on an inkling. Fortunately, being a therapist has turned out to be the most meaningful work I can imagine - giving me a theater of action where I've been able to grow into who I believe I was meant to be. To learn more about me, please visit the ABOUT page.
If you’d like to experience what working together would be like,  the complimentary consultation is meant for you.  We’ll discuss your current challenges, identify patterns that may not serve, and you’ll get actionable next steps designed just for you.  I look forward to helping you manifest the life that only you can create.

To me, something essential about healing and therapy is carried in this poem.

 “Tell me about despair, yours”  is a starting point -  to  release pain and be received  in the fullness of your feeling - without shame. Experiencing yourself less and less edited, closer to your core over time, through revelation and discovery, coming to recognize the sound of the bell rung cleanly and true in your own voice. In the process you come to see, accept and reshape your life.

"Whoever you are” - pain, loss, abandonment, manipulation, fear, disappointment, rejection, invisibility, misuse, abuse…..these carve a sense of self and the world that is based our real experience,  but also distort and limit our real nature and possibility.  

The relationship with your therapist, as I see it, is meant to re-establish a capacity to trust - yourself and others - and thereby unleash your intrinsic capacity for the joy, purpose, love and belonging which are your birthright.
