I'm now accepting new clients. We are social, relational animals. Navigating difficult situations often requires a specific kind of relationship in which one can speak truthfully: authentically express whatever is coming up in the moment, over and over and over, for as long as it takes. Sometimes I don’t know what I think until I say it, and I might not say it at all if no one is listening. Or if I don’t trust the person who is listening. Truthful speech is best supported by a specific kind of relationship: that’s what I provide.

My work is relational and present-centered: I encourage truthful speech and authentic expression in each moment. Change and insight often come along the way, but the work is simple: speaking truthfully in each moment. As a discipline, as a challenge, as a pleasure, to better accept and understand reality, as a source of humor, connection, and solutions.

I offer one-on-one, in-person, traditional/classical psychotherapy for adults with grief, loneliness, weariness, overwhelm, relationship difficulties, existential vertigo in the modern world, or a general “unsatisfactoriness” that's hard to name. I draw most on psychodynamic, existential, and humanistic traditions. I don’t work with all diagnoses or issues. Some examples of presenting issues outside of my scope are acute suicidality, acute substance use issues, schizophrenia, and eating disorders.
