Empowering peer best practices

peer consultations

I aim to help you create, clarify, and sustain your most satisfying clinical work in three primary ways:

  1. Practice building consultation. This design and implementation work is rooted in my management and policy training, experiences providing ‘medical necessity criteria’ peer reviews, and organizational leadership (this is usually a 5-10 session project);

  2. Psychotherapy supervision. I deeply enjoy working with colleagues from diverse clinical training and experiences. Supervisees usually try out and then work with me weekly. Our work will be to directly understand and grow your most effective psychotherapy practice (this is usually ongoing); or

  3. Completion of your corrective action plan. If your organization or state medical board recommends or requires you hire a supervisor, I welcome exploring this essential service together.

My supervision tends to be described as embodied, pragmatic, and actively creative. I keep things simple, including intentionally charging your average session fee.

Organization consultations

During the last twenty years, I have led effective local, national, and international retreats. This work creates deep personal transformation, defines and quells physician and clinician burn out, and facilitates tenable change for entrenched personal or organizational performance challenges. I am available to be hired as a content lead in contemplative medicine, health management, and lgbtqia+ health competency. I am also available to serve as consultant to your leadership team in mediation and/or strategic planning.


contemplative practice

Mindfulness has a essential potential for integration into psychiatric, psychotherapy, and personal practices. Please consider the following assessment tools as complement to our potential or current work together:

Spiritual self assessment

Many colleagues and patients find significant benefit from formal work with mindfulness psychotherapy. I recommend the following organizations be considered in your exploration:

The Institute for Meditation and Psychotherapy

The Center for Mindful Self-Compassion

Mindfulness, meditation, and contemplative practices draw on hundreds of years of expertise. I deeply value the necessity of support and collaborative inspiration created in a group and community. If I can support your exploration or personal practice development, please be in touch.

If you are a clinician and interested in deepening your contemplative practice, I enthusiastically recommend you consider New York Zen Center Contemplative Medicine Fellowship (as a former fellow from 2024-2025 group) and additional wonderful NYZC programs.
