ABOUT ME

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in California (LPCC 10291)

 

In addition to my psychotherapy practice, I have taught philosophy and bioethics at the college level for over twenty years. For me, philosophy offers a way to ask questions about what it means to be a human being. In particular, philosophy provides a language to explore the nature of human dignity, authenticity and wellbeing, the place of love and sex in our lives, and to ask what we owe each other as members of a range of ethical communities, both human and non-human.  I see therapy and philosophy as complementary ways of articulating and affirming the lives we wish to lead.

​

I hold a masters degree in clinical mental health counseling from Lesley University in Massachusetts.  I received my bachelor's degree in biochemistry from Harvard University, and my doctorate in philosophy from Oxford University.
