At different moments in our lives, I think we need people who can see something in us that we cannot yet quite see ourselves.

A friend. A teacher. A therapist. A guide. An elder. A partner. A circle of women.

We all need people who remind us of who we are when we forget. Who see our potential without trying to determine who we should become. Who can witness what is emerging in us, hold a space large enough for it, perhaps see it before we can, and accompany us while we risk inhabiting it.

We are busy living our lives. Raising children. Caring for aging parents. Building careers. Holding relationships together. Showing up for our patients, families and communities. We become very good at carrying what needs to be carried.

And somewhere along the way, we can lose touch with ourselves.

For me, IMS has never been about putting needles into muscles for the sake of dry needling. It is about understanding why a muscle became painful in the first place. Combined with movement, manual therapy, breathing, and education, Gunn IMS helps address the nervous system’s role in persistent pain and gives people the opportunity to move with greater comfort and confidence again.

As a therapist, I have complicated feelings about AI. If I’m being fully transparent, part of me feels frightened. Not because tools are inherently bad. Not because access to information is bad. But because I deeply believe in the necessity of human connection for healing.

The simple answer is: almost every relationship can benefit from relationship counseling. You don’t need to be in crisis or dealing with a “big” issue to come to therapy. If you find yourself thinking “something could be better” or “I keep feeling frustrated about this same thing with my partner,” you’re very welcome here. And if the issues feel heavier or more complex, you’re welcome here too. Relationship counseling is a space to bring whatever is present and explore it with care and support.
