Message about therapy during COVID19
Currently, I’m doing all sessions on a HIPPA-compliant tele-health platform. While nothing can replace the feeling of connection that’s made possible by sharing space together, there is no way for me to guarantee anyone’s safety in my cozy office, in a building shared by several others. I’d rather meet with you mask-less over a screen where we all can be safe. One benefit of this is that you will have access to my co-therapist Presto.

Therapy that focuses on what matters to you.
Therapy that makes changes that matter to you.
I see you. I know you’ve probably tried many things, likely talked to several people, and nothing sticks. You want a therapist who can help you now. You want someone whose first imperative is to understand you, someone who’s committed to working alongside you as you reclaim your life from the problems that are causing trouble for you.
Therapy doesn’t have to be complicated or mysterious.
If you don’t understand your therapist, they’re not talking your language.
And they should.
I’ve found that when folks are looking for a therapist, they don’t care so much that I have a PhD, that I publish papers & write books, that I teach at the University of Minnesota and train professionals around the world, that I can quote Foucault (who the hell is that, you ask?) and that I read bell hooks. Most folks don’t care that I can deconstruct texts and apply a post-structural analysis of power operations, or that I do other stuff that therapists like to puff our chests out about.
Nope. Most people tell me that they care that I care. That I *get* them. It matters to people that I don’t doubt their experiences of despair, rage, confusion, pain, hopelessness, uncertainty and injustice.
I know what matters to people when they’re looking for a therapist, is that they matter to me. It also matters that I can help them make a difference that makes a difference.

Believe me—I can talk a lot of dense theory and carry on about a lot of big effing ideas— but that’s not what you’re here for, and this isn’t about me, it’s about you and your life. It’s my job to *get* you and respond to you on your terms, in your terms.
I begin every relationship with potential clients with a brief phone call (there’s no fee or obligation).
