My goal as a therapist is to assist you in developing and strengthening all the relationships in your life - with yourself, your partner, your family, your community. I'm passionate about helping you connect and communicate in a loving, authentic way.

I can help you with:

resolving chronic relationship conflicts

re-kindling passion with your partner

negotiating interracial relationships

coping with issues related to gender, race, and spirituality

managing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder (in yourself, or someone you love)

stresses that arise during life transitions

I am experienced at working with gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered clients, and I teach and publish about therapy with the GLBT community. We can work together on:

coming out and staying out

sharing your identity with others in your life

building a family

emotional and sexual intimacy

issues of gender identity

Parents and children often struggle with their relationship. Let me help you with the intense emotional issues that arise when parenting alone, weathering the storms of adolescence, and living with a difficult or troubled child.
