You are not alone in this

You can be highly capable and still be deeply stuck in one important part of your life.

If that sentence landed, you are in the right place. It may be a marriage, a family, a career, or a decision you keep circling. Often it is more than one. You do not need to know which before you begin.

        You may be hoping for
      
          More ease and connection in an important relationship
        
          Better conversations when something difficult needs to be said
        
          Greater confidence in decisions affecting your family
        
          More clarity about what you need and what you can change
        
          Space to understand your own experience
        
        But find yourself
      
          Repeating the same conversation without resolution
        
          Feeling disconnected from someone you love
        
          Carrying more than feels sustainable
        
          Avoiding a decision with real consequences
        
          Functioning well externally while privately feeling stuck

where i focus

Relationships may be the one part of life you cannot solve by trying harder.

Most people I see are not failing. They are capable, responsible, and used to solving difficult problems. Careers are going well. The house runs. From the outside, almost everything looks well-managed.

Privately, the relationship has gone tense, transactional, or quiet. Conversations about money, sex, parenting, time, or the future turn into the same argument, or stop happening at all. What used to be a partnership has become a logistics operation between two people who are perfectly polite to each other.

Often, one person is still trying. Everyone else has disengaged or given up, and somewhere along the way the one still trying started to feel like the problem. Sometimes the real question is not how to fix it, but whether it can be fixed. That is a question worth answering well, and it is where I often begin.

    Insight matters. But insight without movement is just an exceptionally well-informed way to stay stuck.

The framework

The hidden cost of success.

Success quietly takes its toll in four places. Most people fight about the surface.

      Identity
    
      The surface fight: roles
    
      Somewhere in the last decade, one of you disappeared into a role — the career, the kids, the caregiving, the running of everything — and started introducing yourself by what you do for everyone else. Who are you when nobody needs anything from you? Both of you gave something up. Only one of you has been asked to give up more.
    
      Trust & Connection
    
      The surface fight: honesty
    
      Feeling distant, misunderstood, or like you're speaking different languages — sometimes because of a specific breach: an affair, a financial secret, a pattern that finally came to light. Sometimes it's just a slower erosion nobody ever named. Either way, the question is whether this is survivable, what repair actually costs, and whether you still believe the other person can change.
    
      Attention & Pressure
    
      The surface fight: time
    
      Work demands, caregiving, parenting, and the constant pull on your time and energy — until the surplus has been spent elsewhere for years and there's nothing left for each other. High performance everywhere except at home. A phone that never fully powers down. One of you remembers everything the household needs; the other believes it runs itself.
    
      Money & Power
    
      The surface fight: fairness
    
      The fight over money is never really about the number. It's about who holds power, who feels safe, and whose name is on what — prenups, inherited money, unequal earning, unequal say — and what each arrangement quietly costs. It shows up between partners, siblings, and parents and adult children alike.

Care for the relationship, the person, and the family

Ways we can work together.

Couples Therapy

Primary Specialty

For couples navigating disconnection, recurring conflict, betrayal, or the pressures of careers, parenting, money, family, and a life that has left too little room for the relationship itself.

Explore

Individual Therapy

For the person everyone relies on, navigating leadership, burnout, ADHD, identity shifts, or a decision that carries more weight than it appears to.

Explore

Family Therapy

For families navigating strained relationships, competing loyalties, and the questions wealth makes harder: inheritance, succession, and who is owed what.

Explore

Intensives & Concierge Care

For clients needing more concentrated, flexible, or frequent support than weekly therapy allows: extended sessions, focused intensives, and scheduling built around demanding lives.

MY APPROACH

Warm doesn't mean passive.

I listen carefully. I also ask difficult questions, name the patterns I am seeing, and challenge the assumptions keeping you stuck, including the comfortable ones. Therapy should give you somewhere to think differently, not simply somewhere to repeat what you already know.

      01
    
      Uncover
    
      Understand the cycle, history, attachment patterns, beliefs and pressures underneath the presenting problem.
    
      02
    
      De-escalate
    
      Reduce the reactivity, defensiveness, contempt or withdrawal that makes productive conversation impossible.
    
      03
    
      Repair
    
      Build the skills to address injuries, conflict, betrayal and unmet needs without repeating the same pattern.
    
      04
    
      Rebuild
    
      Create a relationship or family system that works better in real life, not just in the therapy room.

how therapy works at reclaim

A considered place to begin.

The first conversations are designed to help us understand what has brought you here, what support may be most useful, and whether working together feels like the right fit.

      Begin with a consultation
    
      A brief, private conversation about what is bringing you here and whether working together makes sense.
    
      Understand what is happening
    
      Early sessions look beyond the immediate problem to the relationships, history, patterns and pressures shaping it.
    
      Define the work ahead
    
      Together, we determine what deserves attention and the structure of care most likely to be useful.

Schedule a Consultation

When life calls for a more thoughtful kind of support.

You do not need to know exactly what needs to change before reaching out. A consultation is simply a private conversation about what is happening, what matters most right now, and whether working together feels like the right place to begin.
