Therapist

I became a therapist because I find people genuinely fascinating, specifically how we each experience ourselves, life, and reality, and how we approach living – our inner process. That curiosity has driven more than 20 years of clinical & spiritual work with adults navigating trauma, sexuality, spirituality, expanded states of consciousness, depression, anxiety, identity, grief, men's issues, and major life transitions. Currently, I run my private practice while also directing and teaching in a graduate Counseling Psychology program.
