I am a great therapist for many people but not for everyone. I believe that the most important element of successful therapy is the relationship between myself and my clients. The decision to work together is mutually made.
If you have that stereotype of the wise, older woman therapist, I fit it! I’m a cis female (she/hers), lesbian, a strong feminist and Jewish (my mother was a Holocaust survivor). Neither of my parents finished high school. I’m the first one who went to college after high school. I was a scholarship student and I ended up with a masters and doctorate in social welfare from UC Berkeley. Not bad!
I get lots of referrals from people who say, “but my last therapist never said anything!” It’s hard to imagine anyone saying this about me!
While I hate cookie-cutter approaches, I bring to the work my 40 years experience and training. I am an active therapist, providing my expertise to help you help yourself. I love to work with LGBQ folks, other therapists, academics (including students), social justice advocates, people who live in rural communities, musicians, descendants of Holocaust survivors, nonprofit executives, sex-positive women, military brats, and highly intelligent people.
And if you want to work with someone who is equally outraged by what’s happening in our country, I’m with you.
Whether we end up working together or not, I hope you have a positive therapeutic experience !
