As a lifelong advocate for social change, I am passionate about the connection between individual transformation and societal transformation. I believe that one cannot truly happen without the other. I welcome activists and organizers who are seeking a therapist who “gets” that our individual difficulties always happen within a broader context of structural inequality. Issues of race, class, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, and disability, among others, directly impact our lives and shape our ability to trust ourselves and each other. I also believe that, activist or not, each of my clients’ healing work ripples out to their families, communities, and has the potential to change society itself. Once we learn how to reside in our heart, it is like coming home–and everyone and everything we encounter is changed because of it.
