As a person with the lived experience of OCD, I know what it is like to struggle with perfectionism and anxiety about worst-case scenario possibilities. I have had a personal journey with grief and loss; I have become a "grief nerd" and try to find all the ways to work through my own sadness.  Finding EMDR is one of the ways I have found relief from the sudden and unexpected losses in my life.   

My dreams include travelling. I read a lot, and I love to blog. I am passionate about life, interested in meeting and making connections with other people, and I dream about my next travelling adventure!

 Why We Struggle in Relationships (And How to Fix It)

Ever found yourself randomly pushing buttons on a machine you have no clue how to fix? Flipping switches, unplugging and plugging it back in—hoping something just works? Now, what if I told you we sometimes do the same thing in our relationships?

We know something is off, but we don’t fully understand how to fix it. I’ve felt this firsthand—somewhere between tears of frustration and heated arguments, there was really just a deep desperation to connect. And after spending over 25 years working with children and families in the foster care system, I’ve seen just how much disrupted connections shape us.

As Gabor Maté says, “Safety is not the absence of threat; it is the presence of connection.” The way we bond with our first caregivers creates a blueprint for every relationship that follows.

So ask yourself:
• Do deep, emotional conversations make you pull away or shut down?
• Do you chase after love, desperate to be understood?
• Do you reject support the moment it’s offered?
• Ever been obsessed with someone, only to suddenly feel the ick?

This knowledge is life-changing. Understanding your patterns means you can stop reacting on autopilot—stop pushing random emotional buttons—and start showing up in your relationships with real intention and clarity.

Want deeper connections? It starts with knowing yourself first.

I am accepting NEW clients!

My name is Preston Walker, and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist with expertise in treating ADHD and PTSD. I combine neurofeedback, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and memory reconsolidation to help clients understand and address the root causes of their symptoms. My approach is supportive and goal-oriented, focusing on empowering clients to find practical solutions while fostering lasting emotional 

I frequently work with individuals who haven’t found success with previous treatments. With specialized training in Neurofeedback and Parts and Memory Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy, I am prepared to support those managing ADHD and complex PTSD, as well as negative interaction cycles—all of which can present unique challenges to effective treatment. When other treatments have not helped, often these approaches can help. Neurofeedback can provide long lasting changes via new neuronal activity, while memory healing helps neutralize emotions memories diminishing triggered responses, and secure attachment often makes other symptoms significantly less problematic. 

My specialties are:

• Marriage and Family Relationships
• Neurofeedback
• Parts and Memory work
• Couples Therapy
• ADHD
• Complex PTSD and Trauma
• Adolescents
• Addictions
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Difficult cases  when people feel stuck
