About Nathaniel

Hello!

The stories we tell about ourselves can help us make sense of our lives, but sometimes they leave too much out. You may have come to see yourself through familiar roles, others’ expectations, or experiences that still shape what you believe is possible. I offer a warm, curious space to explore those stories, question what no longer fits, and make room for parts of yourself that have gone unrecognized.

I believe meaningful therapy grows from a genuine human connection, one in which you can feel understood and increasingly able to be yourself. There is room here for the full range of your experience: pain and pleasure, heartbreak and humor, uncertainty and discovery. I’m interested in what hurts, what sustains you, and what makes you feel most alive.

This curiosity about people also shaped my earlier work as a book editor. I was drawn to the complexities that make us human: how the past lives in the present, how relationships change us, and how seemingly contradictory feelings can coexist. Today, I bring that same close attention to how you understand your experiences, helping you discover other ways of seeing yourself. Together, we can explore recurring patterns, approach difficult feelings with compassion, and consider where you want to make changes.

As a queer, Jewish clinician, I am attentive to how identity, culture, and belonging shape our relationships and sense of possibility. I welcome exploration of what those influences mean to you, including the parts you cherish, the expectations you question, and the ways you are still discovering who you want to be.
