“Instead of criminal, women’s bodies are inherently defective, aesthetically defective. To the body whose value is judged almost solely on aesthetics, it is a devastating sentence. We are too short, too tall, too fat, too thin, too dark, too stiff, too loose, too solicitous, too yielding, too assertive, too weak, or too strong.”
My services reflect the breadth of my professional work. I provide expert psychotherapy and clinical supervision, advise graduate students and new clinicians, consult with treatment teams, and serve as an expert witness. My approach is grounded in relationship, respect, collaboration, and a strong commitment to ethical social work and clinical care.
