SHE / HER

I am a psychotherapist, psychoanalyst, clinical supervisor, writer and lecturer. I am a warm & approachable person.

I have worked with patients for almost two decades, helping people overcome a variety of difficulties, including depression, anxiety and panic, trauma, grief and loss, life and health crises, body image issues, relationship conflicts and the pain of divorce or separation. I work with people who have experienced sexual assault and childhood abuse. I work with many artists and creatives. I have been with people through gender transition and coming out, as well as the difficult process of addressing the social traumas of marginalization and violation due to race, class, nationality, gender and sexual identity.

Finally, I am someone who is deeply concerned about the current political and environmental crises – in the USA and elsewhere – and I welcome discussions of the stressors of our very difficult world. It can be so challenging to move through the world peacefully, especially in times as rancorous, divisive and chaotic as these. We have to create moments of stillness, contemplativeness and togetherness to allow ourselves growth and change.
