My day job as a psychotherapist allows me to brush up close to the most intimate aspects of the human condition. My music is a place for me to transmute that suffering into potent stories, existential musings and tales of vulnerability. I'd like to come and share some songs with people in Europe this Summer and again in the Winter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My best friend and I had just finished surfing when a mother came running up to us in panic. Her four children were drowning in a strong rip current. We dove and saved them. After, we agreed that if we did nothing else in this life, that would be just fine. : )
