Frequently asked questions
You may know what you want help with and still be unsure where to begin. These answers explain the different ways to work with me and what happens next.
Therapy is individual clinical care. Executive coaching focuses on professional goals and decisions, not mental health treatment. Courses are self-paced education. You can explore the therapy, coaching and course pages before choosing.
You can begin with the question you have, even if you don't know which service fits. A brief description and a few practical questions are enough for an initial inquiry. Get in touch.
No particular job title or personal history is required to explore my work. My writing and courses address relationship patterns, family experiences and the pressure to keep everything together. For individual work, we’d discuss your circumstances and whether the service is a suitable fit.
My clinical focus is relational trauma: the lasting effects of harmful experiences in close relationships. That can include difficulties with trust, family relationships, boundaries, perfectionism or compulsive overwork. Recognizing a pattern in my writing isn’t a diagnosis; individual care begins with assessment.
Licensed in 15 U.S. jurisdictions, including Colorado for telehealth only, and registered to provide telehealth in Florida under Fla. Stat. 456.47. Your physical location during a session matters, including when you travel. Please ask us to confirm eligibility before booking. See the jurisdiction details.
My individual therapy practice offers telehealth. Before beginning, we’ll confirm that the format is appropriate for you, along with location requirements and practical arrangements.
Yes. I’m an EMDRIA-certified EMDR therapist. EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. We decide together, through assessment and discussion, whether it fits your treatment; it isn’t automatically the right approach for everyone.
Availability can change. Ask about current openings, fees, session arrangements, insurance or reimbursement questions and cancellation terms before deciding to begin. An inquiry doesn’t commit you to treatment.
Leadership decisions, difficult working relationships, delegation, founder identity or your next professional chapter. Coaching focuses on your goals and choices, rather than providing psychotherapy or trauma treatment.
No. My clinical background informs my perspective, but coaching and therapy are different services with different agreements. If your goals call for clinical care, that needs a separate conversation.
Coaching takes place in individual video sessions. Ask about session format, availability, fees and frequency, then review the proposed coaching agreement before deciding whether to proceed.
Fixing the Foundations is the signature program on relational trauma. The focused courses address particular relationship and family patterns. The course directory lets you browse by subject without needing to label or diagnose yourself.
Open the course directory, then the individual course page for current availability and the next step. A waitlist provides availability updates; it isn’t enrollment or immediate course access.
The courses are designed for self-paced education. Check the individual course page for its final contents, format and terms; don’t assume that a waitlist includes live calls, community access or individualized support.
Courses are educational and don’t replace individual treatment. If you’re in therapy, you can discuss with your therapist whether a particular course would be a useful addition to your work together.
The public article library doesn’t require a subscription. For essays and personal letters in your inbox every other Sunday morning, you can explore my free newsletter.
Send your organization, audience, proposed date, location or virtual format, and the subject you’d like addressed. The speaking page outlines possible formats. We’ll confirm fees and availability for your event.
Yes. Include your publication or program, topic, deadline and intended use in a media inquiry. You can browse existing coverage on the Press page.
That depends on the event and its approval arrangements. Please confirm any continuing education credit before advertising it. Presentations are educational, not clinical care.
A little about what brings you here, the service you’re interested in and any questions you have is enough. For your privacy, save medical records and detailed health information for a confirmed intake process.
We’ll respond within 24 business hours. Use the website for non-urgent inquiries; it isn’t monitored as an emergency service.
Don’t wait for a website reply. In the U.S., call or text 988 for crisis support, or call 911 for immediate danger. Outside the U.S., use your local emergency number or findahelpline.com.
