Starting Therapy
People come to therapy for a range of reasons, whether they’re facing a particular challenge or hoping for greater clarity, growth, or direction in their lives or relationships. You’re welcome to reach out whether you have a clear sense of what’s going on or are simply curious about whether therapy might be helpful. Meeting together can offer a better sense of what may be useful.
I work with people around areas such as:
- Relationships, intimacy, and connection
- Anxiety, depression, and persistent inner pressure
- Work, creativity, and questions of direction or meaning
- Loss, transitions, and difficult life passages
An initial meeting gives us the opportunity to think together about what brings you in and whether working together makes sense.
About Me
Starting Therapy
Starting Therapy
I’ve practiced psychotherapy for over 25 years in private practice and community settings. My clinical background includes extensive training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and group therapy, along with many years of additional clinical training, teaching, and consultation.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked in international aid and human services in Asia, and in environmental public policy with the U.S. Congress and the Texas Legislature. These experiences continue to shape my understanding of how people navigate the complexities of their lives.

Joining Group
Many people choose to join one of my interpersonal process groups after some time in individual therapy. I welcome individuals who want to explore new possibilities in how they experience themselves and move through their lives, as well as therapists seeking group experience and training.
This kind of group work is a living laboratory—an immediate, shared experience where interactions unfold in real time and people begin to notice familiar ways of responding to others as they’re actually happening. Seeing these patterns together often opens up a greater sense of freedom and possibility in how they move through their lives.
