For It Is Not Inertia Alone

For it is not inertia alone that is responsible for human relationships repeating themselves from case to case, indescribably monotonous and unrenewed: It is shyness before any sort of new, unforeseeable experience with which one does not think oneself able to cope. But only someone who is ready for everything, who excludes nothing, not even the most enigmatical, will live the relation to another as something alive and will themselves draw exhaustively from their own existence.

-Rainer Maria Rilke

I return calls as soon as possible. I do not answer my phone while in session or in class. But, I do check my voicemail frequently.

Electronic communication is an efficient way to connect with me. It is most helpful for scheduling issues.

Crisis

If you are in crisis or urgent need, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room or urgent care. You may also call the suicide lifeline at 988 or (800) 273-TALK (8255).

Insurance & Other Health Plans

Currently, I am not directly billing commercial or public insurance. I am more than willing to provide invoices for services rendered, which you may be able to submit to your insurance carrier for direct reimbursement.

I am willing to work with EAP programs and Lyra.

LGBTQIA+ and Queer-Affirmative Care

I am a Queer, Non-Binary, and Gay person and psychotherapist. Parallel to my lived experiences, I am a LGBTQ+ affirmative therapist. This approach and competence has been developed through conducting research, publishing relevant scholarship and books, on-going workshops, Continuing Education programs, and speaking engagements, as well as through over 30 years of clinical work and advanced training.

Telehealth & Hours

Currently, I provide therapy via HIPAA-compliant telehealth services. Please talk with me if you live outside the state of California. I see clients on Fridays and Mondays, primarily, via HIPAA-compliant telehealth. Please inquire within.
