In addition to my therapy practice, I am the Co-Founder of a national nonprofit organization, One Circle Foundation, where we have developed gender-responsive and gender-expansive support group models for youth: Girls Circle and The Council for Boys and Young Men, and the Unity Circle PRIDE Circle, a curriculum for LGBTQI+ youth and allies. I have co-authored more than two dozen manuals for use in circle programs across education, mental health, public health, juvenile justice and community based settings.

Whether in psychotherapy or circle programs, even when someone’s situation has seemed daunting or desperate, I have witnessed vast, creative and unique ways that people find resiliency and flourish. It is my hope to offer a supportive relationship and environment in which solutions and positive outcomes for you and/or your loved one(s) are more readily achieved.
