Here’s the place. Are you ready now? Asks the question of you, of me, and of all of us. Are you ready now – to grow, to learn something new – Are you ready now – to see if I might have an extra opening for a session during or outside of normally scheduled times? Really soon? Are you ready now for support in this moment of time?
And this is a new way. To take advantage of the best parts of me – the parts that could simplify 55 years of US living into three bags and land, right side up, in Europe. Freer and happier than most. This is your chance – To get care and connection with me when you’re ready.

Many of you know this first part – I am a US trained and licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Also trained as a sex therapist, trauma therapist, neurodivergence (ADHD and Autism) therapist, a trauma-informed coach, and I’m so much more. You may or may not know of my passions and work/teaching in Art and massage, death and dying, downhill skiing, classical piano, ergonomic assessments, financial analysis, astrology and Chinese medicine, and aspects of many more things. I’m a learner and a grower and a person with Jewish heritage who has been deeply influenced by Buddhism, Christianity, and mindfulness. I’ve been influenced by kink, and monogamy and nonmonogamy, and people I’ve loved, and living in yurts and straw bale houses off the electric grid we all are so attached to. I play with life. I experiment with it. And I sure as heck don’t fit in Your Basic Therapist Box. I live in the Netherlands now, 9 hours ahead of Los Angeles and its tides, 7 hours ahead of the rocky and plain midwestern US, 6 hours jumped ahead of NYC, 2 hours behind Addis Ababa, etc. you get my drift. This – and my email – are places where you can come and see if it might work out to slide into a session in 12 hours, or 3 hours, or 20 minutes.
It’s also a blog where I may ramble a bit about life thoughts, healing thoughts, personal thoughts that I’m open to sharing. I believe we all are on some sort of a shared healing journey, but really want a buffer so that those clients and colleagues who truly want to know the ongoing journeys my chronic health, and, frankly, my chronic healing, take me, can come. Consent to know more. And know more. Sending this out as regular email pings to your inboxes feels wrong. And usually can arrive at the wrong moments. When you’re working or buying groceries. Drop in here when you’re ready. When you think you’re ready. And join in. See what’s happening. Drop me a line.
Some years back, I might have labeled this an outgrowth of my feminist approach to therapy, to dismantling unneeded structures, to bringing more equality into the therapy and coaching and consulting and artwork that I do. I don’t know if those words fit now, but I think deep down I’m still the anarchist street theater collective artist desperately trying to help this world change. Now.
And maybe some of my purpose here is perhaps a bit of inspiration of collaboration of souls. Of growth. This blog is Inspired by a story of a therapist-friend-colleague with chronic, challenging illness and treatment, who once set up a private blog for clients with updates, with somewhat more intimate health information, with announcements of good days and not so good days, so that it might be possible to know when is a good time to look to find session openings. I’ve decided to try this new approach. And experiment and see how I like it. And how you like it. If you like it, please stay, please visit, please comment as you’re led to comment. And if you don’t like this idea, or this much closeness, or potentially closer to spontaneous sessions with me, you need never visit again.
For this moment in time, this is the closest thing I have to an online calendar. But it’s more than that. It’s living and breathing and dynamic, and filled with more me than Calendly or Sessions Health ever would or could be.
WELCOME!! COME GROW!! BECOME MORE OF YOUR FULL SELF!!
