About

Here is what tends to help people most to hear: you do not have to earn therapy by being sick enough, sad enough, or articulate enough. Showing up is the whole entry fee. Before private practice I worked in nonprofit settings, alongside social workers and case managers, and it made me allergic to gatekeeping. The adults I see now are often burnt out by jobs and obligations that take more than they give back. Some tell me that getting out of bed has started to feel like negotiating with a stranger. We begin exactly where you are and practice returning to the present moment, since that is where your energy actually lives. I keep the tone plain and human; you will never need a dictionary to talk with me. I treat kindness as a discipline, not a decoration. If this sounds like the kind of help you have been circling, send a note and we will talk.
