I’m excited to be a guest on your podcast, collaborate on a special project, or serve as a subject matter expert.

Let’s connect!

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a writer.

And, when I grew up, I was!

(My former editors would be slashing their red pens at me beginning a sentence with the word “and”.)

In my early 20s, I worked at a newspaper in upstate New York. After plugging away for a few years, I realized that it wasn't a good fit for me.

I was more interested in listening to people’s stories than reporting them.

Then I got sick.

A serious workplace injury left me in constant pain and unable to use my hands.

My body made me stop.

I’m so grateful that it did.

Slowly I regained my health and started doing what I do now -- being of service to others in a deeper way. 

I've been a psychotherapist for more than 20 years.

Not a day goes by that I'm not amazed by the capacity we human beings have for healing.  

 Do you have a podcast, website, community, or movement aimed at helping people feel more at ease in their bodies, their lives, and on the planet? 

I'd love to connect. I could talk for days about: 

  • Gate Passages: How your life's twists, turns, and forks in the road bring you closer to who you are and where you’re supposed to be.

  • The intersection of traditional psychotherapy and alternative healing.

  • Trauma's effects on the brain, body, and soul — and what to do about it.

  • Why all good therapy is really about re-wiring your nervous system.

  • Spiritual awakenings that masquerade as depression and anxiety.

  • Navigating life as a sensitive soul.
