I am a Counselor, Career & Life Coach, Psychotherapist, and Sex Therapist. To schedule a 15-minute telephone consultation with me, click on the "website" icon on my profile here. On my website, you will be able to schedule a consultation on my electronic calendar. I am accepting a few new patients for the limited time slots that I have available between 5-10 pm, Monday-Friday. No A.M. hours. Guided by the research and theories of Carl Rogers and Albert Ellis, I am interested in using profound and philosophical existential and humanistic therapies to help people to understand their own complex and worthy humanity. I come to the fields of counseling, coaching, and psychotherapy with more than twenty years of experience as a teacher, scholar, researcher, and writer in the humanities, cultural studies, and social sciences, where I studied, researched, taught, and wrote about identities, survival, and the human condition. It is important to help people create meaningful existences for themselves, and to help them to understand the various purposes of their lives. I use creative, expressive, and narrative therapies to focus on my patients’ own personal stories, in order to empower them, and to help them to cope, heal, thrive, and survive through difficult situations.
