About

What years of practice have taught me: almost nobody is arguing about the thing they are arguing about. The thermostat is never the thermostat. The unanswered text is never really about the text. Partners come to me tangled in surface disputes, and together we dig down to the actual question underneath, which is usually some version of: do I still matter to you? I stepped away from clinical work for a stretch to run programs from behind a desk, and coming back to this chair felt like coming home. The detour left me organized, unhurried, and very difficult to sidetrack, which turns out to be useful in a room with two agendas. Sessions with me are steady and even-handed, and each of you will feel the floor stay level under the conversation. If the surface fights have worn thin, come and find the real one. It is more workable than you fear.
