High-Impact Therapy for High-Stakes Conflict

Beyond the Friction

Relationship crises often feel like a collision of opposing forces. Whether you are navigating a crisis of broken trust or the gridlock of long-standing conflict, my priority is to create a structured, clinical space where that energy can be redirected toward repair.

The Art of Relational Alignment

My approach is deeply informed by over 20 years of Aikido—a martial art dedicated not to clashing with force, but to blending with it. In the dojo, we learn to stay centered in the face of aggression and to redirect high-velocity energy to restore balance.

In the therapy room, I apply these same principles to your relationship. I don’t use rigid scripts; I use a disciplined, tactical lens to help you:

Step off the “Battlefield”

Stop the reflexive cycle of attack and defense.

Redirect the Energy

Learn to enter your partner’s reality without losing your own center.

Master the Movement

Transform immediate friction into the relational understanding needed to heal and strengthen your bond.

Flourish with Optimism, Live Deliberately

As a Licensed Psychologist-Master and published author, I specialize in the deep work required for lasting change. My practice is designed for high-achieving couples who value a direct, straight-talking partner in their recovery process.
