With more than 27 years of experience as a Gestalt therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I draw upon a wide range of tools and techniques of various modalities to offer trauma-informed therapy and couples counseling. My areas of expertise relate to normative challenges and life transitions, recovery from addictive disorders, and healing from Intimate Partner Violence, especially the forms referred to as Coercive Control and Narcissistic Abuse. In addition to my work as a therapist I am a Domestic Abuse advocate, expert witness, researcher, activist and survivor. While I work with all adults, I have special expertise in working with GBTI men.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
