I believe our relational patterns make sense. They were once protective. Therapy is not about shaming those strategies. It is about understanding them, honoring how they formed, and gently creating new ways of relating that feel safer, more embodied, and more secure.

Healing happens in relationship.

And it also happens in the nervous system

Therapeutic Philosophy

I approach therapy from an attachment-based, trauma-informed, and relational lens. I believe that many struggles are rooted not in pathology, but in adaptive strategies developed in unsafe or emotionally inconsistent environments.

From this perspective, symptoms are not signs that something is wrong with you. They are signals from your nervous system that something once felt overwhelming, unsafe, or disconnected.

My work integrates relational and somatic approaches, including advanced training in healing sexual trauma with a focus on couples impacted by sexual abuse histories, intimacy avoidance, libido differences, and body-based resistance.

In 2026, I am continuing advanced training in the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) and Somatic Experiencing (SEP) to further deepen my work with developmental trauma and embodied attachment repair.

I believe healing involves:

• Understanding your attachment story

• Learning to set and hold boundaries without guilt

• Processing trauma in ways that honor the body

• Repairing intimacy injuries in couples

• Reclaiming your sense of agency and self-trust

• Moving from survival-based relating to secure, connected partnership
