Build something that doesn't exist yet. I don't arrive with a template. I arrive with curiosity, and we work from there — following what emerges between us, staying with what's difficult, finding new language. The therapy we create will not be the therapy I'd create with anyone else. It belongs to us.

I would hope they'd describe me as inquisitive, collaborative, insightful, creative, playful, attuned, and compassionate.

who feel stuck, who feel burdened by a self and life no longer working. Our work is about stubborn problems with old solutions and finding creative new ones.

I'm a former dramatic actor and find a lot in common in the study of a character with the study of a personality. I'm also lifelong reader and a lover of film - really, just a lover of stories. My work is all about around storytelling and how it harms and heals.

I am psychodynamic, but deeply integrative, and certainly not dogmatic. I read widely, think carefully, and prepare so that in session I can be free to notice what is actually here. I believe the self is not a destination — it is a practice. It is a commitment to ongoing development and allowing new aspects of ourself to emerge.
