Individual Psychotherapy

I help adults to navigate and successfully resolve many types of personal, interpersonal and existential issues.  I’ve worked with a wide variety of people of different ethnicities, religious affiliations, sexualities, gender identities and ages.  I work to help you heal old wounds, deal with current problems, and awaken to a new sense of yourself and your capacities.  My clients experience me as genuinely caring and empathic, deeply insightful and intuitive, and sometimes quite funny.
