No algorithm can understand what it’s like to suffer in your mind, to be in your body, to ascend to the heights or plunge to the depths of your spirit. Give yourself the gift of compassionate, personalized care through real human counseling. My own experiences with dementia caregiving and breast cancer led me to shift careers from Jewish Studies academia to chaplaincy and integrative health. I've worked at University of Michigan, Columbia University, Chapman University, and global humanitarian nonprofits. Therapy with me feels warm and focused. I'll listen to you and pose questions to spark your own wisdom. You'll grieve if you need to, take small steps forward, and day by day find your sense of stability, your power to consent, and your zest for life. I frequently consult peer-reviewed research. If you are seeking support for cancer (psycho-oncology) or skin-related BFRBs (psychodermatology), I can coordinate with your oncologist, dermatologist, or others on your healthcare team. We can also be flexible with therapy pace, for instance: weekly sessions, twice monthly, multi-hour intensives, multi-day retreats. Occasionally I offer groups. I also welcome inquiries about public speaking and workshop facilitation. Thanks for stopping by! I myself have searched for therapists and other healthcare-folks who actually value whole-human care, and I get that it takes courage to reach out. Please don't hesitate to see if we might be a good fit.
