I am a clinical psychologist working as a telehealth therapist. I take health insurance and offer a low sliding scale, so I'm not exactly getting rich in this profession, lol! My values are anticapitalist and anti-authoritarian. I enjoy coffee, whiskey, meeting other radicals, connecting with nature, and talking about philosophy, books, movies, music, and art.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

After 16 years in New York City, I need less noise, breathable air, and friendlier neighbors. I am planning to move out of the city in fall 2025 and am exploring places I might want to re-locate to. I live in a big, beautiful state and want to see all that it has to offer!

音乐、电影和书籍

Currently reading Enemy Feminisms by Sophie Lewis for book club. It's so good.

Books that have had a lasting impact on me are Walden (Thoreau), Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (Pirsig), The Technological Society (French anarchist priest Jaques Ellul), and Mutual Aid (Kropotkin).

I read a lot of psychology books for work -- really appreciate Gabor Mate, haven't read anything by him I didn't like.

教，学，和分享

I'm happy to talk about psychology, or not--I won't try to psychoanalyze you as that's what I do for a job! :P I am self-taught in Python (the programming language), can sing harmonies with you if we're jamming, and know how to build a fire that catches with only one match.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

My absolute undying gratitude, and a bottle of wine if you're into that!
