One of the most powerful moments in therapy is when something that has felt shameful, confusing, or simply broken about you suddenly makes sense.
Psychoeducation means bringing knowledge into the room — about how the brain processes trauma, how nervous system responses are wired, how patterns from childhood can persist into adult life, why anxiety spikes or depression flattens, what happens in the body under stress. This is not a lecture. It is information offered in the service of understanding and self-compassion.

I work with individuals and couples on exactly this territory. Whether the struggle…
Are you navigating the impact of racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, or other forms of oppression?

I am committed to holding the full complexity of your experience, including…
For those seeking it, I offer a space to explore the deeper questions — meaning, mortality, faith, doubt, and what makes a life worth living. I bring a personal and longstanding contemplative practice to this work, informed by Zen Buddhism and Jewish wisdom traditions. I am equally at home with people who have a rich…
