Is your brain always on, even at 2am? Maybe you're overthinking a decision, replaying a conversation, or worrying about the future. Sometimes it shows up in your body too, like a tight chest or stomach problems the doctor says aren't medical. I'm Sal. I work mostly with teens and adults in their twenties and thirties dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship stress, identity questions, or big decisions about school, career, and what comes next in their lives. Some are also carrying painful memories from their past, whether or not they'd call it trauma. You don't need to explain it perfectly. However it comes out is fine.

Are you navigating open relationships, polyamory, or kink and finding that the emotional terrain is harder than expected? Jealousy, miscommunication, and disconnection don't mean your relationship structure is wrong — they mean you're human, doing something most people were never taught how to do. Whether you're newly exploring non-monogamy, restructuring an existing dynamic, or trying to understand what you actually want, therapy can help you move from confusion to clarity. You deserve relationships that are intentional, values-aligned, and genuinely fulfilling — not just in theory, but in practice.

Intervention Therapists
How does an intervention work?
An intervention is a planned, structured meeting in which a person’s family or friends voice concerns about the person’s behavior and its consequences; the goal is for the person to accept treatment. In this meeting, the person’s loved ones (often with the guidance of a trained interventionist) share how the person’s behavior has harmed them and the consequences if the person refuses treatment. They collectively ask the person to accept a proposed treatment plan.
How effective are interventions?
There isn’t extensive research on the efficacy of interventions, in part because success is difficult to measure. Individuals often enter addiction treatment after an intervention, for example, but treatment itself may not work, especially if the person only begins due to external pressure from others rather than due to internal motivation to change. However, if all other attempts at helping someone have failed, an intervention may be worth exploring.
What are the limitations of interventions?
While a friend or family member’s intentions are in the right place in wanting to help a loved one through an intervention, there are significant limitations to the approach. The surprising nature of the event can make the person feel ambushed or judged. They may feel embarrassed or ashamed as a result, and relationships may be strained or broken. This can make it difficult for the individual to be receptive to the concerns of their loved ones and the interventionist.
Are there alternatives to interventions?
Rather than confronting a loved one through an intervention, an effective and less pressured approach is to create space for a caring, open, one-on-one conversation. This works best if the loved one asks open-ended questions, listens attentively to the answers, and frames their observations and statements with concern rather than judgment. More than one conversation may be needed, but change can take root over time.
