People tend to reach out to me when the parts of their lives aren’t fitting together well.

When behaviors don’t match up with ideals; when old stories don’t map on to new realities, or when current stories aren’t fair to the past; when inner voices are in conflict with one another; when relationships aren’t working out; when fear is crushing curiosity and desire; when criticism, anger, and bitterness get in the way of kindness and hope; when the self has turned on itself…this is when I typically hear from people, and this is where I try to be of service.

If you’re experiencing a similar lack of fit and believe you’d benefit from a warm, consistent, humanistic therapeutic relationship, one that also includes challenges to any blindspots, distortions, self-sabotaging patterns, and limiting beliefs that are harming you or those who love you, please feel encouraged to connect.
