For 23 years I served Northwestern University undergraduate and graduate students in the University Counseling Center initially as Staff psychologist and liaison to the Department of Athletics and then as Director of Clinical Services. In addition, I co-instruct a for credit course at Northwestern titled Emotional Intelligence 101: Managing Yoursel
You might be here because something feels heavy—trauma that lingers in the body, shame tied to sex or identity, or the quiet exhaustion of moving through a world that wasn’t built with you in mind.

Shame, feeling different, experiencing depression or anxiety, and facing relationship issues or conflicts with oneself and/or the world are some of the issues I commonly provide help with.
I believe that deep psychological and emotional change is achievable through Jungian-informed depth psychotherapy and dreamwork (which is always optional). Th
