Welcome to Your Daily Therapist

Closing the 10,030-minute gap between therapy sessions.

Most people don’t struggle once a week. They struggle in the moments that actually matter.

They struggle in the middle of a conflict with a spouse. In the silence of a “yes” that should have been a “no.” In the spiraling replay of a conversation they can’t stop thinking about.

Traditional therapy supports you for 50 minutes a week. Your Daily Therapist exists for the other 10,030.


The Problem: Memory-Based Therapy

Traditional therapy relies on your memory. You wait days to tell your therapist about a fire that has already burned out. By the time you’re in the chair (or on Zoom), the nervous system charge is gone, and you’re just “reporting” on your life.


The Solution: The Presence Method™

This isn’t a “chat” or a “hotline.” This is The Presence Method™—a proprietary clinical model built on the power of daily witnessing.

Using asynchronous text and audio, I provide a steady professional presence Sunday through Thursday. This allows us to work with your triggers while they are still “hot,” using The Trigger Method to create somatic change in real-time.


What You’ll Find Here

This Substack is for high-functioning people who are tired of “knowing better” but not “doing better.” Here, I share:

  • The 10,030-Minute Gap: Strategies for navigating the time between sessions.

  • Trigger Regulation: Somatic tools to help you stop fawning, people-pleasing, and spiraling.

  • The Presence Method: My thoughts on the future of async therapy and why daily support is the missing link in mental health.

If triggers don’t wait for your next appointment, neither should you.
