About

I am a therapist for adults who behave in ways they do not endorse the moment someone starts to matter to them. My clients are usually thoughtful and self-aware everywhere else, and reliably bewildered by their own conduct in this one area. That inconsistency has a name. Attachment responses fire faster than deliberation, which is why someone can hold a considered position about how they want to behave and then find themselves doing the opposite within seconds. We work at the speed the response actually operates, which means noticing the early physical signal rather than arguing with the conclusion. I returned to the room after a period in administration, largely because systems interested me a whole lot less than people did. If you behave in ways you do not endorse, get in touch. Speed is the whole problem, so speed is where we work.
