Maybe you’ve tried therapy before and it helped for a while… but it never went deep enough.

You talked about stress, but not the patterns underneath it.

You explored symptoms, but not the roots.

And now those patterns, overthinking, burnout, emotional numbness, people-pleasing, shutdown, irritability, loneliness, are showing up in ways you can’t ignore.

A trauma-informed approach helps you understand why you react the way you do, without judgment or pressure.

Here, we move at your pace while gently guiding you into deeper awareness of your nervous system, your triggers, and the relational wounds behind the surface-level struggles. You’ll learn how your past shapes your present, and how to choose something different moving forward.

Why couples come to see me

Couples usually come in when something in the relationship feels out of sync.

Some arrive quietly curious, wanting deeper connection.
Others arrive overwhelmed, unsure how much more weight the relationship can hold.

Here are some of the reasons couples seek support:

• We’ve become distant, and we don’t know why.

• Something happened and we can’t repair it on our own.

• We keep having the same arguments.

• One of us shuts down, the other gets overwhelmed.

• We used to feel close, and now it feels like hard work.

• We’re fine individually, but struggling together.

• We want to understand each other without fear or defensiveness.

A trauma-informed, relational approach helps you slow down the cycle. Through attachment science, Emotionally Focused Therapy principles, and Gottman-informed insights, we uncover the deeper hurts beneath the surface fights. You’ll learn how to repair ruptures, rebuild trust, and understand one another in a way that feels safe — not defensive.

When teens become reactive, it’s often a sign of overwhelm, not attitude. Therapy gives them a calm, supportive space to understand their emotions, build language, regulate their nervous system, and communicate without fear.

Parents usually notice fewer blowups, calmer reactions, and more honest conversation at home. As your teen grows more grounded and understood, connection strengthens in quiet, steady ways. And throughout the process, you’ll be guided and supported, never judged.
