Sometimes we are blessed with being able to choose the time, and the arena, and the manner of our revolution, but more usually we must do battle where we are standing.

You've always relied on yourself. But as strong as you are, the stress of how your relationships are feeling is heavier.
Lately you’re up at 12am asking ChatGPT "how to set better boundaries?“ Or "what is happening to my relationship?” Or, "What do I do about my marriage" or just "What is wrong with me, why am I here again?"
Nothing is wrong with you. You have protective strategies working hard to keep you safe, and some strategies we outgrow while others we employ for good reason. Nothing is wrong with you for questioning why something feels off.
My clients are curious and ready for the next chapter but suffer pain in silence. If it's hard to find your voice when things are hurting, or find yourself exploding after trying to minimize the hurt, or if it feels like weirdly you might just have a higher tolerance for emotional exhaustion than others, you don’t have to white knuckle this stress alone.
You may be waiting for things to get worse before starting therapy. But your questions are worthy of listening to. Your insights are welcome.
Schedule a free 20-minute consultation. We’ll chat about where you are, see if we’re a good fit, and just take it from there.
How it looks working together:
Imagine what is possible.
Whether you are a new couple, a couple with years of history, or an individual with years of relationshipping, healing happens when it is seen, acknowledged, witnessed.
Working together, we fold your personal history into your present life to understand patterns. I help you locate cycles, listen for internalized messages, values you hold, and notice where you feel heard or unheard in the relationships in your life. I welcome humor, am direct but easy going, and invite you to be yourself.
We begin with a free phone consultation. Find a weekly time that works for you. Then we book our first session which is usually the following week. I work in-person and online. And we go from there.
Before my own therapeutic journey, I lived on autopilot. Sure, I made choices for myself, some even brazen! But they were strategic, proving I was in control. Safe.
A trauma response moving me at breakneck speed, making decisions that weren’t always in my best interest. One day, I stared myself down in the mirror: "What exactly is in my control here and what isn't?" ..."What am I willing to be honest about?"
The main character in any good plot has something they want but there are obstacles. Their story is really about finding what they long for. What they learn they need.
Together we work to help you - individually or as a couple - find your way back to yourself and / or each other.
