You know exactly what other people think—but struggle to tune into your own thoughts and make choices that reflect who you are. You “play it safe” in relationships or keep people at arm’s length. You find yourself caught in the same frustrating cycles with people you care about. Come think about where you are stuck with me! I use Bowen Theory to help people zoom out and see the bigger picture. This approach is a way of understanding how we’re shaped by the families and systems we’re part of—and how we can change the patterns by thinking more clearly and acting more deliberately.
It’s normal to blame others when life isn’t going the way you hoped. Real change starts when you understand your part in the pattern. That doesn’t mean blaming yourself—it means getting curious, thoughtful, and intentional about how you show up. My goal is to help you get in the driver’s seat of your life, think constructively and make purposeful choices.
Together, we might explore: •Calming your emotional reactivity. • Deepening important relationships that feel distant. • Clarifying your values and aligning your actions. • Finding ways to manage yourself within your family and community. Much of my work is with individual adults that are ready to make progress, but I also work with couples and families.

Counseling theories give therapists a framework for understanding patterns of human behavior and interventions that are evidence based. Most therapists have one theory that they use as their primary lens but may integrate tools from other theories when appropriate. As we work together I will teach you how to get curious about your life through a Bowen theory lens and discover different choices.
