A life is full of conversations: Long, short, boring, exciting, irritating, inspiring, welcome …  unwelcome.  

Then there are the conversations we carry on in our heads. 

Therapy is a healing conversation. 

And it’s not all talk!  

Living our lives from one experience to the next, we may sometimes need to hide our true feelings about things — even from ourselves. And there’s often a cost: emotional discomfort or distress we don’t quite understand, and can’t quite explain.  

So a healing conversation is about touching into the heart of the matter: The feelings we carry beneath the day-to-day of emotional struggle.  

These feelings are our emotional compass.

Connecting to this emotional compass is a fresh experience of ourselves in the midst of life. It helps us sense into, and orient to, our true direction. And change what we now see we can change.

That’s what a healing conversation is about.  

I imagine that what brought you to this page is emotional struggle or pain … and the hope for change. Whether your struggle is with the murk of depression, the churn of anxiety, tangled relationships, gender questions, or the twists and turns of your life-path, I hope you will find these pages helpful. Browse around! They give a sense of how I work, think – and even, to a degree, how I sound.  

Because choosing a therapist is such a complex and personal process, I offer a free full-length initial consultation, by phone or HIPAA-compliant video platform. If you feel I’m not the right person for you, I am happy to be a resource, and help by seeking a good referral.

We work without fast-forwarding past the hard parts – but without losing precious time.
