The thing you've been calling the problem is a door, and something is standing on the other side of it, patient, waiting to be let in.
I · The door
Room for the
truer story.
You came in with a version of what's wrong. It's probably true. It's probably not the whole truth. The rest is still down there, waiting to be drawn up.
Marriage and family therapist. Telehealth across California for adults carrying trauma and grief, and for couples and families who have stopped hearing each other.
II · What the old stories know
III · Letters from the threshold
Old stories, read slowly, for people carrying something.
IV · Who I see
Three doors into the same room.
Individuals
Trauma, and grief. What happened isn't erased, but its hold on a life can change. Slowly, at the pace your body sets.
Couples
Two stories, each true, and a fight that has outlived its subject. I'm not a referee. I'm interested in what's happening between you.
Families
The one everyone's worried about is usually carrying something for the whole. Everyone gets to be a person in the room, including the one who was sent.
V · Is this for me?
Four questions. No right answers. A way of thinking out loud before we talk.
This isn't an assessment and nothing you choose here is recorded. It only points you toward the door that might fit.

What I hear
VI · A few minutes with me
Before you decide, I want you to hear how I speak and see how I hold a room.
A short video introduction — coming soon
VII · The way in
Three steps, none of them hard.
This is slow work. If you're looking for a short protocol or a set of tools, say so on the call and I'll point you to someone who does that well.
- A free fifteen-minute call.You tell me what's brought you here. I tell you plainly whether I think I can help, and if not, who might. I answer every inquiry within two business days.
- A first session.Fifty minutes by video. Slower than you expect. Nothing is decided; we're finding out whether the room fits.
- A standing hour.The same time each week, for as long as it's useful. Most people know within a month whether this is their work.
