You might be here because...

A few of the situations people bring most often - living with illness, anxiety, and related difficulties. See all areas on the specialties page - or ask, and I will say honestly whether I am the right person.

How it works

  1. You send a message

    A sentence about what is going on is enough. I read every message myself.

  2. A free 15-minute call

    We talk about what is happening, what you are looking for, and whether I am the right fit. There is no charge for this call, and no obligation to book anything after it. If I am not the right person, I will say so and suggest where to look.

  3. We set the frame

    Short-term and focused, or longer-term and exploratory. We review together whether it is helping.

A little about how I work

I do not think one method fits everyone, so I adapt. I combine approaches that have been tested: psychodynamic work, CBT on thoughts and habits in the week, and tools for emotion and stress.

I will not hint that this is all in the mind. The illness is real. I work with what it does to the rest of your life.

Unsure whether to write?

Write one sentence about what is going on. I will say if I work with that, and if not, where else to look.
