Sitting with me in a therapy session can look a lot of different ways. On a given day I might find myself laughing with one client; crying with another; and explaining to a third how the mechanics of their nervous system might be impacting their emotions, and what they can do about it. I have a robust toolkit, but the main strength that I come back to again and again is a flexible, responsive ability to meet people where they are.

I’m a lot of things besides a therapist, and I’ve worn many hats and lived many lives. You might run into me on a trail, see me onstage with a guitar, going deep at an ecstatic dance, or curled up with a book at the library. Before coming to this profession I have worked as a professional musician, teacher, bartender and Alzheimer’s home health aide. I am passionate about the question of how we create a just world, and have always had a soft spot for underdogs and outcasts.

I love being a therapist, and being in therapy, because it helps me to love all the parts of myself, from my sharp-tongued inner critic (yep, he’s still there) to my very goofy inner child (him, too). If you want to make better friends with all parts of yourself, contact me today and let’s get started.
