I work with adults who have been impacted by trauma and want to move "past the past" to be more successful in their lives and relationships. You may feel like you are repeating the same patterns in your life; having the same fights with your partner, feeling disconnected with your children or a lack of grounding in your job or relationships. You may feel anger that the things that happened in the past are still impacting you. As adults, we are often re-triggered by the things that happened in the past, even in childhood. If this sounds like you, I may be able to help.

This is not traditional couples therapy.
You look like the perfect high achieving couple from the outside, but behind closed doors you are struggling with communication, conflict, and connection. You are both suffering–either out loud through conflict or silently through shutting down. You worry about when the next breakdown in communication will be, how big the next argument will be, or how long you will get (or give) the silent treatment. You're keeping up with your professional duties and paying attention to your children’s needs. But you’re lonely. You don’t want to walk away from the relationship, but it’s feeling almost too painful to keep the status quo.
