Relationships are hard. So many of us want a deeper connection with our partners, with our families, with ourselves. Maybe you find yourself in familiar conflicts with your partner that mirror some of the most painful dynamics from your family of origin; maybe you feel overwhelmed at times by your own or your partner's emotional volatility; or perhaps you struggle to relax into a sense of connection with yourself and the world. I can help. I work with individuals and couples experiencing relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and life transitions, with a particular focus on the impacts of developmental and intergenerational trauma on our relationships. In the container of a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship, we will build awareness of your process—physical, mental, emotional, and interpersonal—as it unfolds both in and out of session. This combination of connection and awareness, over time, can transform the way you relate to yourself, to others, and to the wider world. Together, we will support you to reconnect with the part of you that knows - that has always known - what it is to be deeply connected. I work from an interpersonal, attachment-based, and family systems lens, informed by body awareness and mindfulness practices. I incorporate IFS and trauma-informed modalities to support clients to navigate challenging emotional states with compassion and intention.
