I am a psychotherapist in California with more than twenty years of experience working with adults, children, and adolescents.

I am drawn to the kind of therapy that does not rush past what is difficult, strange, painful, beautiful, or hard to explain. Sometimes the most important parts of us do not arrive neatly. They come through dreams, symptoms, moods, images, conflicts, relationships, repetitions, and the quiet feeling that something in our life is asking to change.

My work is influenced by Jungian and depth psychology, but I try not to turn therapy into theory. What matters most is what is alive in the room: what you feel, what you avoid, what you long for, what keeps returning, what you do not yet have words for.

I believe that people often come to therapy not only because they are suffering, but because some part of them wants to live more truthfully. There may be anxiety, grief, loneliness, self-doubt, or old wounds. But there may also be desire, imagination, anger, creativity, and a life that has been waiting for more room.

In therapy, we pay attention to all of it.

I work well with people who are reflective, sensitive, curious, and interested in going beneath the surface. People who may have done therapy before and still feel there is something deeper they want to understand. People who are drawn to dreams, symbols, childhood, relationships, spirituality, creativity, and the mystery of becoming more fully themselves.

I also work with people who have felt unseen or out of place in the world including in therapy itself. People who have had to mask, explain themselves, or shrink to fit. My consulting room is a place where that's not required.

I also work with children and adolescents. With younger people, I listen not only to what they say, but to what they show through play, behavior, imagination, mood, and relationship. Children often tell the truth indirectly. Part of the work is learning how to listen.

My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you do not have to perform being okay. A place where we can be honest, curious, and patient enough to discover what is trying to come forward.
