Psychotherapy is a uniquely rewarding endeavor. It can be interesting, even exciting, to try on unfamiliar perspectives, let go of habits and attitudes that no longer serve you, and come to know and care about yourself in a very different way. It also takes courage to look closely at your inner world, trust another person with that process, and do the hard work of change. That work is possible only where there is empathy, respect, and confidentiality, and where encouraging growth is balanced thoughtfully with respecting your limits.

You are not a collection of symptoms, a problem to be fixed, or an aberration to be reshaped into "normal." You are a whole person with strengths and weaknesses, hopes and fears, joys and sorrows, all worthy of careful attention. As a queer-affirming therapist, I work with individuals and couples, including LGBTQIA+ clients, to better understand themselves, find more satisfaction in life, and become the person (or partnership) they want to be.

I see clients in person in San Francisco and via secure video throughout California and New York. If you're curious about working together, contact me to schedule an initial consultation.
