I’ve been a psychotherapist/advisor for the past decade and a half. Before that, I taught at university and helped run public interest research efforts in support of environmental health and democracy.
I’ve worked in settings where I was the only woman, white person, English-speaking person, straight person, etc, and am comfortable with difference, whether that’s difference from me or difference from some mainstream norm. I have a PhD in geography from UC Berkeley and an MS in counseling psychology from the University of Massachusetts.
I’ve helped raise a few kids to adulthood (mine and others’) and have been married for 24 years. I’ve found my way through bereavement, blended family dynamics, burnout, career change, and life-threatening illness. I’ve been a Buddhist for forty years, an avid dancer and Yoga student, and I have personal and clinical experience with psychedelics.
I’ve lived in big cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington DC and in small towns like Carbondale, Colorado and Leicester, North Carolina. For the past decade I’ve lived on the Maine coast, where I enjoy gardening and wandering in the woods.
Drop me an email. I’d love to talk.
