ANNOUNCEMENT: after six years of diligent work and effort, I am now a licensed psychologist as of 10/23/26!! However, I now have a LOT of things to update, this website being one of them. I am open to new clients and the “contact” section of this site still connects directly to email, which I check diligently.

Licensed Psychologist

I tend to work with individuals who are in a state of transition. This can take many forms- gender transition, life transition, death, divorce, aging, a new physical health diagnosis, or perhaps a profound shift in conscious awareness.

I like to get at the root of things and appreciate deep, identity-based work that is contingent on a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship in which respect and autonomy are the foundation of our connection.
