Watch Me Work Before You Work With Me

Most people choose a therapist based on a headshot and a short bio. With Trauma Dump, you get something almost no one else gets. You can actually watch me work before deciding if you want to explore therapy with me.

The show started as a comedy experiment with Lou Wilson and turned into a surprisingly honest look at what therapy can feel like when it is relational, present focused, playful, and grounded in the client’s goals. If you found me because of the show, welcome. This page is for you.

What Trauma Dump Is

One day my friend Lou Wilson told his audience he was going to livestream his own therapy. He'd play a character version of himself and try to satirically sabotage the process — and instead of hiring an actor to play the therapist, he wanted a real one. He asked me.

The constraints: I wouldn't know his plans, I'd pretend not to know him, and I couldn't ask about his past or his relationships. You might think that would make therapy impossible. What it actually meant was that we had to work entirely in the here-and-now — which is a style I love.

What came out of it surprised both of us. Underneath the satire was something genuinely honest. You'll see relational transparency, humor used carefully, attempts at repair, and moments slowed down for clarity. It turned into one of the more accurate portraits of what therapy can actually feel like when it's working.

If you found me through Trauma Dump, you've already seen more of how I work than most new clients ever get to before their first session. The actual work is more private, more spacious, and more focused on you — but the relational DNA is the same.
