About Me

I’m a psychotherapist, advice columnist, and community consultant with a practice grounded in curiosity, candor, and a deep respect for the complexity of being human. My work is progressive, open-minded, and rooted in a simple but powerful belief: when we say our private thoughts out loud, something shifts. What feels tangled becomes clearer. What feels heavy becomes shareable. And what feels isolating begins to loosen its grip.

Whether I’m sitting with a client, responding to a reader, or consulting within a community, I approach each conversation with warmth, nuance, and a willingness to go where people are often told not to. Nothing is too messy, too taboo, or too uncertain to be explored thoughtfully.

Therapy, to me, isn’t about fixing you—it’s about making space for honesty, insight, and change on your own terms. Sometimes that starts with saying the quiet part out loud.
