I have a deep appreciation for the transformative power embedded within relational dynamics. Early in my educational journey, I immersed myself in family systems theory and practice, unveiling the unique potency residing in healing connections. I find a special resonance in my work with couples and families and use an integrative approach to relational healing, drawing upon the wisdom of John and Julie Gottman, Esther Perel and Terry Real among others. I recognize that the experiences of trauma and adversity often have relational aspects to them. But so too does our capacity for healing and building resilience.
