If you’ve been considering therapy, but know you need something more focused than weekly sessions, this might be for you.

I offer intensive therapy sessions designed for people who want to make meaningful progress in a shorter period of time.
These extended sessions allow us to go deeper, reduce stop-start patterns, and work through what’s been feeling stuck with more continuity and intention.

This format can be especially helpful if:

You feel like traditional weekly therapy hasn’t been enough
You’re navigating a specific issue and want dedicated time to focus on it
You’re ready to engage in deeper, more sustained work

Psychosexual evaluations are often surrounded by misconceptions and myths, especially for individuals who have never gone through the process before.

Many people believe the evaluation is designed to “fail” them, that the evaluator already has a conclusion, or that psychological testing is meant to trick them.

In reality, a psychosexual evaluation is a structured, objective forensic assessment used by courts, attorneys, and probation departments to better understand psychological functioning, risk factors, and treatment needs.

I recently wrote a blog breaking down some of the most common myths about psychosexual evaluations and what the process actually involves.

If you or someone you know may need a psychosexual evaluation—or if you simply want to understand the process better—this article provides helpful insight.

Psychosexual evaluations are frequently misunderstood, even among individuals navigating the legal system for the first time.

Common misconceptions include the belief that evaluators begin with predetermined conclusions, that psychological testing is designed to “trap” individuals, or that these assessments function as therapy.

In reality, psychosexual evaluations are structured forensic assessments used to provide courts, attorneys, and probation departments with objective clinical analysis regarding psychological functioning, risk factors, and treatment needs.

I recently published a blog addressing common myths about psychosexual evaluations and explaining how evaluators assess insight, accountability, and risk using established forensic methods.

Not everything that darkens you destroys you.

Sometimes it’s just an interruption of light.

You can still function.
Still show up.
Still meet expectations.

And yet something feels… eclipsed.

Your clarity.
Your identity.
Your internal steadiness.

High-functioning people don’t collapse when life shifts.

They adjust.
They compensate.
They keep going.

But quietly, they ask:

“Who am I now?”

Trauma.
Grief.
Cancer.
An identity shift you didn’t see coming.

You don’t need to fall apart to address it.

You need space that is structured.
Intentional.
Contained.

Light doesn’t disappear during an eclipse.
It’s still there — even when partially obscured.

If something in you feels dimmed but not destroyed, this is your reminder:

You are not unraveling.
You are recalibrating.

Three private intensive spots are available in March.

High-functioning people rarely “fall apart.”

They hold it together.
They keep working.
They stay responsible.

But internally, something has shifted.

If you’re navigating trauma, grief, cancer, or an identity transition — and weekly therapy feels too slow — this 2-day private virtual intensive may be appropriate.

Structured.
Focused.
Contained.

No dismantling your life to heal it.
No performative emotionality.

Just intentional, forward-moving work.

There are three March intensive spots available.

You don’t have to fall apart to heal.

If you’re used to being the strong one, the responsible one, the one who keeps everything moving — therapy can feel intimidating.

What if opening things up means losing control?

Structured trauma therapy is different.

Healing is not about emotional collapse.
It’s about rebuilding your identity with the right framework.

Love yourself first

Love starts with you

“Valentine’s Day can hurt…”

“If today brings tears, memories, or quiet moments, that’s okay.

Your love mattered.
It still matters.”
