About

As you consider a therapist, search for someone who seems to value the things you value, someone who will want to support your life goals; listen to your own sense of who can get you started on the road to healing, recovery, or flourishing; focus on your need to understand what you really want and how to start getting more out of your life. Psychotherapy is like physical therapy; something is injured, not fully developed, or needing to be used differently; the session stretches and strengthens; homework is essential to making progress; if you come consistently, do the homework, you get better. It's a partnership.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and certified pastoral counselor with 48 years of clinical experience. I focus on the client's experience as they live today - what's working, not working, what's missing, & how to live a more attentive, mindful life very consistent with their values. See adults. Music supported therapy, & therapy for musicians.

I am currently accepting new clients. I no longer accept insurance payments; my fee is $135 per session. I practice on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, from 1 pm to 6 pm. Cancellations less than 24 hours in advance are charged $75.
