The Human
I’m an overly-existential, creative, feeling human with a
(sometimes) dark sense of humor. I love making art (especially
music and audio stories), reading sci-fi, jumping into a cool lake,
cooking and eating delicious food, and looking for hidden gems in
musty thrift shops. I struggle with perfectionism, lean a bit
anxious, and have crawled my way out of diet culture and
disordered eating (with plenty of help, of course!)
I’m a cis-gender,
small-fat,
white, secular half-Jewish woman. I was born on the East coast, but
mostly raised in Northern California. My usual pronouns are “she/her”
but “they” works just fine too.
The Professional
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in San Francisco. I
received my Master’s in Integral Counseling Psychology from
California Institute of Integral Studies in 2009. Outside of my
private practice, I’ve worked in a hospital, an elementary school,
and an eating disorder treatment center. I’ve worked with children,
families, couples, and groups of all ages. My focus now is working
with individual adult clients. While my general view of healing and
change could be considered
Humanistic/Existential,
I incorporate methods from many different therapeutic modalities
as appropriate.
Blending my artist and therapist selves, I produced two therapy
related podcasts,
A Therapist Walks Into a Bar
and Radical Advice.
I’ve contributed to articles for
The Cut,
SF Chronicle,
and Fortune Well
and guested on a variety of podcasts, including the
“Mind My Mind” episode of The Allusionist.
