About

"Josh is warm-hearted and wise. I instantly felt at ease with him."

"Josh makes you feel as if you are the only thing that matters- it's something special. I'm a better person knowing him."

"Josh has made such a difference in my life... I'm actively remembering and applying new constructs without even realizing our work and his skill is changing my life for the better."

I’ve always been drawn to people — to their stories, their inner worlds, their wisdom and humanity.

Life gets loud. Old patterns take over. Fear, doubt, and habit start driving the car. At least this is what I have witnessed for myself and others. I’ve learned how to challenge this dynamic and return myself and others to their core place where beauty, creativity, joy, etc. emanates and inspires.

I bring all of me to this work: my history and experiences; my warmth, humor, presence; and my honest reflections and insights. I’ve been trained from summer camps and adventure trips to classrooms, from being an advisor to 15+ years as a therapist, to my own 50+ trips around the sun. I’m a proud Chicagoian with a Masters in Japanese History and a Masters in Psychology that loves the Bay Area.

Clients describe feeling deeply seen and supported, and moved toward growth when they sit with me. I’m here to help you expand, align, and thrive. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I believe in you — your wisdom, your capacity, your potential — and in the power of conscious, compassionate exploration to bring it forward.

Oh, and I LOVE joy and the celebration of it! 🙂
