People sometimes ask me whether I see a certain kind of patient or focus on a particular type of problem. But one of the things I love about my practice is its diverse array of people and the varied range of issues they bring with them. I see patients of disparate age, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, religious identity and profession.

I have intentionally chosen not to work within a ‘specialty’ framework. I view people as individuals with unique composites of experience. It is my intent to assist in the understanding of  that experience as fully as possible to derive its roots and influences.

I treat each person as an individual, not a disorder.

Many of my patients are drawn to therapy to address their struggles with life transitions, work and financial difficulties, relationship challenges, traumatic loss, lingering effects of other traumatic experiences (including childhood abuse and intimate partner violence), sexuality concerns, identity formation, substances, chronic and/or acute medical illness, self-harm, and existential malaise. Many contend with anxiety and depression. My patients range in age from adolescents to elders.
