WELCOME HERE.
I’m an advisor
consultant
guide.
I work with people asynchronously.
Which is to say — by email, letter, and disappearing text.
As a long-time psychotherapist who has chosen to move out of the medical model, I can
bring more aspects of my experience to more people.
I help people make their path, clear brush that blocks their way, and find more joy on the journey.

In a world of self-help apps, AI chats, and Zoom meetings, I provide an old-fashioned way for a person to map their way — one word at a time, one thought at a time, in the space between two humans who are taking time to reflect.
Writing allows room for feelings to percolate and ideas to form.
It’s easy on the nervous system and it promotes insight.
You can read more here about why I work this way.

It’s more like a
walk in the woods
or working in the garden

If you…
then you’ll find that working asynchronously is a good fit for you.

In addition to text, you can send me audio files, hand-written journal entries, drawings, and photos.
I will give you back a thoughtfully written reply, with tailored resources and actionable guidance that you can pursue in your own time.
I may also create guided audio practices or hand-drawn diagrams to shed light on things we’re talking about.
“… but can you help with this?”
I can help you:
navigate life changes
finish creative endeavors
enhance mental and physical well-being
make difficult choices
map a career path
grow leadership capacities
engineer daily rhythms
build on personality strengths
address relationship and parenting challenges
improve communication with anyone
explore spiritual & philosophical questions
If you’re wondering how I can specifically help YOU, drop me a note and I’ll let you know.
This work is growth-oriented and does not diagnose or treat mental disorders.*
