Hello - I am a relational therapist working with couples and adults to create healthy communication, build emotional awareness, and learn to manage conflict with grace. Clients explore ways to create meaning in their lives, make sense of past trauma, and form healthy decision-making that aligns with their values. By challenging negative beliefs, learning to set boundaries, and understanding the impact of dysfunctional family patterns, clients begin to live in harmony with their authentic and true self. They are able to enjoy healthy relationships, expand self-worth and self-compassion, and maintain emotional connections.
My relational approach to therapy brings patience and empathy. I utilize specialties in attachment and trauma, providing a focus of self-compassion. We explore mindfulness to bring awareness into the here and now, practice regulating bodily reactions, develop strategies to improve communication, and piece-together fragmented parts into the whole self.
I welcome your contacting me to support you with your personal growth. As a person healing from codependency, I have personal insight into the distress and confusion living a false-self valuing the approval of others over my own well-being. In a safe and non-judgmental space, we hold a stance of hope and action to re-create your true self.
