You keep replaying that last argument in your head, or imagining the next one. Your body is along for the ride, feeling that pit in your stomach and chest tightness as if it were happening right now. You're impatient and irritable with those around you. Talking about it leads to arguing, so you keep it all inside, until you blow up again. The things you do to cope help somewhat, but they also cause more problems of their own.
You want your relationships to be peaceful and close. You want to be calm and present. You want your choices to align with your values. You are who I help.
I specialize in helping men whose issues are interfering with their relationships. Anxiety, depression, anger and addiction are treatable conditions. I help people be their best selves: healthy, loving and strong.
I also love to help high-conflict couples find peace. Life is too short to keep hating the person you love. Terry Real’s Relational Life Therapy is a practical, action-oriented way to disrupt and replace longstanding patterns. Weekly couples counseling or two-day "Save the Marriage" Intensives available.
