About

Just as we learn spoken language as children, we learn an unspoken language of relationship. Just as the words we hear become the words we speak, the way we're treated becomes the basis for how we treat others, and how we expect to be treated by the people in our lives. We learn to define ourselves according to the terms by which we were defined, but most of us suspect that there's more to the story. There is. I was a creative professional in film and television for many years before I became a psychotherapist. I understand how talents can come to feel like burdens and I'm sensitive to the complexities that arise around getting paid to do "what you love" and the isolation that can accompany success.
