What I Offer

My practice has evolved to include some areas of specialization I couldn't have foreseen. Though I lack any background in tech, I am something of a tech worker's therapist. I've talked to people who work in technology for years and know something of the culture and the pressures of the work.

I also find that a lot of the people who choose to talk with me are first-generation Americans. Lately, there is also a large place in my practice for people who are a few years out of college and figuring out what's next. All of these are populations I am happy and honored to work with. 

I have some experience working as a therapist's therapist, and one last specialization: people who have chosen not to have kids. (I hesitate to use the word "childfree," which I'm ambivalent about, but probably should in case anyone is googling that.) I was at a training once where I mentioned that I see a lot of people without children, and another therapist immediately quipped, "Why would THEY need a therapist?" and everyone laughed, and I thought: That's why.

Issues that clients have most often come to me with include anxiety, depression, difficult transitions including career transitions,  sexuality and coming out, complex relationships with family, partners, and religion, and then perhaps in its own bucket, big existential issues like aging and grieving.
