I specialize in supporting adults (18+) struggling with relationship issues. I appreciate the intricacy of human connections and the continuous effort required to nurture them. Even the most well-intentioned individuals can struggle in their relationships. Trauma can significantly impact relationships, and the effects can vary depending on the severity and nature of the trauma. I support individuals seeking skills to develop deeper, more satisfying connections with others. You may want to identify patterns within yourself while exploring the ever-changing, complicated dating world, or within your relationship(s) – romantic, family, friendships, etc. Perhaps you’re trying to determine whether to remain in a relationship or go another direction.

Together, we can explore uncomfortable feelings you may be having, to try to understand them and utilize them rather than push them away. I can help you to address self-doubt and prioritize self-worth and self-love. I promote reflection and trust in yourself, and will help you practice these in daily life to increase a sense of calm and balance. I will work with you to discover more about yourself, your reactions and motivations and what’s behind them. I will always encourage you to be kind to yourself.

For romantic relationships, if you are engaged in couples therapy, I can provide supplemental support to that journey. Alternately, I can help you explore whether couples therapy might be a beneficial avenue to try, if you haven’t already. I am trained in the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and am a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional.
