THE PEOPLE I SEE
Most people already sense what’s wrong. They just can’t see it from inside.
You’re competent. People rely on your judgment. You’ve solved harder problems than this one. And still, something at home isn’t working, and thinking harder hasn’t fixed it.
Maybe you replay conversations at 2am. Maybe you keep saying yes when you mean no. Maybe you and your partner keep having different versions of the same fight.
My job is to show you the pattern, then help you change it.
WHAT I DO
Individual Therapy
For when you keep saying yes when you want to say no, replay conversations long after they’re over, or find yourself stuck in the same relationship patterns even though you understand exactly what’s happening.
Couples Therapy
For when you keep having the same argument, one of you reaches while the other pulls away, resentment is building, trust has been damaged, or you just don’t feel as close as you used to.
EMDR
Sometimes you understand why something affects you and it still does. EMDR can help with experiences and reactions that talking and insight alone haven’t changed.
And it isn’t only for major trauma.
Therapy Intensives
Sometimes an hour isn’t enough.
Half-day, full-day, and two-day intensives give us more uninterrupted time to work on something important without stopping because the hour is up.

HOW I WORK
You won’t leave a session wondering what I think.
I’m active and involved in therapy. I’ll ask the questions that matter, tell you what I notice, and help you look at things you may not have considered before.
That doesn’t mean I’m going to tell you how to live your life. We’ll figure out what’s keeping you stuck, where it comes from when that matters, and what you can actually do differently.
After 30 years of doing this, I know when to push a little, when to slow down, and when something important is sitting right in front of us.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Therapy doesn’t have to sound like therapy.
You can tell me things you don’t tell anyone else. You can say the thing that sounds terrible out loud, admit that you miss someone you know wasn’t right for you, or tell me that everything looks fine from the outside and you’re still not happy.
None of it changes the fact that I’m on your side.
And there’s room to laugh in here too. Not all of it has to be heavy.
