Sessions with me are engaged, compassionate and honest. I support clients to process unresolved relational trauma and move past cycles of thought, belief, communication and behavior that keep them stuck in negative relationship patterns.

• You might:

  • Find yourself continually pursuing unavailable partners

  • Notice yourself criticizing those you date, making it difficult to move past a certain point of intimacy

  • Feel overwhelmed and “trapped” as intimacy progresses in a relationship

  • Feel discouraged by reactivity, outbursts, or anger toward those you love, or withdraw and shut down without knowing how to reach out for help

  • Have difficulty expressing your needs in relationship, and notice building resentment, anger, or distance

  • Feel overwhelmed by triggers that remind you of past trauma or unresolved relationships

  • Have emerging desires, fantasies, or attraction within a relationship, and be uncertain how to express or explore this, contributing to anxiety and secrecy

My approach is trauma-informed and collaborative. I integrate traditional person centered and psychodynamic talk therapy with mindfulness and somatic practices that support clients to connect to their own intuitive knowing, building self-trust and increasing their capacity to move towards greater understanding and accountability within their lives and relationships.
