Relationships hold up the mirror for the beautiful and messiest parts of ourselves. They require vulnerability, trust, and the courage to be truly seen by your partner. Over time, we can lose sight of the initial spark that drew us together and get stuck in negative cycles of shame, blame, and resentment. We may find ourselves acting in ways we don’t recognize and wake up one day wondering how we got here. Many couples come into therapy once they have reached the point that they wonder if it’s too late - asking “How can I possibly trust or forgive you?”. However, it is never too late to begin your healing journey, and I believe that couples therapy can be one of the most powerful forms of therapeutic work. We heal in the presence of safe and loving relationships and with the support and guidance of therapy, you can learn to show up differently for yourself and your partner. Slowly, by allowing your walls of self-protection down, I can help you rebuild trust and truly be seen and held by your partner. 

Family Therapy

Family therapy isn’t just for the parents of little ones or troubled teens. It can be, but sometimes, strained parent-child or sibling relationships carry on well into our adult lives. As is the case with all relationships, being around our families can hold up a mirror for the healing work we have done and the room we still have left to grow. In other words, being around our family members tends to bring up old stuff! We may think that we have healed from many aspects of childhood trauma, but then watch with confusion as old patterns resurface when we are in the same room again, or even on the phone. Family therapy can provide a safe container to explore unspoken dynamics or expectations that have built into guilt or resentment over the years. Making space for these conversations can help build new patterns of connection that will heal not only your current relationships but set the tone for future generations.
