About

What would you do with the energy you spend bracing for things that never happen? Most people have no idea, because they have never had it back. I would like to help you find out. I have supervised newer clinicians for years, and mentoring them keeps my own practice sharp and honest. When panic arrives without warning, it can convince you something is deeply wrong; the truth is usually kinder and more fixable. Feeling overloaded is often the price of being dependable in systems that keep asking for more. My approach is cognitive-behavioral, applied with patience and precision rather than as a script. I stay action-oriented because thinking about change was never what changed anyone's life. As a gender expansive therapist, I know how much it matters to be read correctly from the very first meeting. My questions tend to be slow and deliberate, and I think alongside you rather than at you. I also offer sessions in American Sign Language (ASL). If you have been considering therapy, consider this a genuine invitation.
