Therapy for Relationships
Navigating relationships can feel overwhelming, especially when old wounds or unresolved conflicts keep showing up in your life. Whether it’s patterns in romantic relationships, family dynamics, friendships, or even in your relationship with yourself, it’s common to feel stuck, frustrated, or disconnected.
​
In my work, I believe healing begins with connection — both to yourself and to others. I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where your story matters. Together, we’ll explore what’s been heavy on your heart, notice how your nervous system responds in relational patterns, and develop strategies to regulate and soothe those responses. You don’t need to have everything figured out right now. My role is to walk alongside you as you make sense of your experiences, reconnect with your body and inner wisdom, and discover healthier, more fulfilling ways to relate to yourself and those around you.
​
If you’re tired of repeating patterns that weigh you down, you’re ready to do this work — and I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
My practice is sex-positive, LGBTQIA+ welcoming, and gender-affirming.

I deeply honor and respect your experiences and connections. It is not my role to advise or persuade you, but to help you work through difficult situations and determine the best next steps for you. Our work will empower you to:
​
​
​
Recognize unhelpful thinking styles or beliefs that may no longer serve you through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while noticing how these thoughts show up in your body, helping you approach yourself and others with greater clarity, compassion, and regulation​
​
Develop practical strategies for resolving conflicts, improving decision-making, and fostering mutual understanding in your relationships through Problem-Solving Therapy (PST), integrating awareness of your bodily responses to stress or tension​​
​
Explore how your communication habits (verbal and non-verbal) affect your interactions, learning to notice physical cues in yourself and others to express your needs and connect more effectively​
​
Set healthier boundaries, attending not only to what feels right cognitively but also to what feels safe and regulated in your body​
​
Learn how attunement and co-regulation support emotional safety and connection, experiencing what it feels like to be met with presence and responsiveness, and translating that experience into more grounded, secure relationships
​
Explore how factors such as attachment styles, love languages, and nervous system patterns impact your presence in relationships with others and with yourself
Therapy for Trauma
Trauma can leave deep, often invisible marks—shaping how we feel, how we trust, and how we move through the world. Whether it comes from childhood experiences, loss, betrayal, or sudden overwhelming events, trauma can leave you feeling isolated, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. You might notice certain memories, emotions, or physical sensations resurface unexpectedly, making it hard to feel grounded, regulated, or at peace in your body and mind.
​
In my work, I believe healing happens through connection, attunement, and nervous system awareness. I offer a space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace, free of judgment or pressure. Together, we’ll honor your resilience, untangle how past experiences have shaped your thoughts, emotions, and body, and cultivate regulation so you can feel safer, more present, and empowered in your daily life.
