If you are reading this, you have gotten my name from a person or a search. You want to know why to call me. Some reasons why include: I am direct, perceptive, and can tell you quickly whether and how I plan to help you. I have special experience with GLBTQ clients, parents, people with mood disorders, trauma, therapist clients, and psychoanalysis. I have been a teacher and supervisor as well as a therapist for thirty years, which helps me have language and a plan for what we do. Call me if you think we might be a match.
I enjoy working with individuals both short and long term. I have extensive experience with mood disorders and the impact of trauma on both individuals and couples. I am trained in psychoanalysis, mindfulness, and hypnosis.
I have lived and worked in San Francisco for over thirty years, with people from all sexual orientations, ethnicities/races, and lifestyles including polyamory. My experiences as a queer woman and as a parent inform my therapy. I am a writer, teacher, and supervisor as well as a clinician. I bring a social justice perspective to my work.
