Background

Welcome
I offer a safe space, in person in Berkeley, where we can explore your inner world, meeting your humanity with compassion and curiosity, and bringing awareness, healing, and new possibilities into your life.

I have worked with trans, non-binary, gender fluid, and a broad range of gender non-conforming people since 1994. I feel passionate about providing appropriate and gender-affirming therapy for those of us who are currently under attack and are often mistreated even when seeking mental health care. Much of my work is with LGBTQ+, polyamorous, artists, activists, and other marginalized people of many cultures, races, and backgrounds.

I work in person in Berkeley with conscientious COVID protocols. I offer video and phone sessions when necessary.

My approach is experiential -- paying attention with loving curiosity to what arises for you in the moment, using mindfulness and somatic awareness. For those interested in psychedelic or spiritual integration, I offer assistance in these explorations.
