About

Relational Healing

I believe healing is a relational process. When we slow down and feel felt and understood by another we create space for healing and transformation. Whether you are seeking Individual, Couple, or Family therapy, my approach is both trauma-sensitive and attachment-based. I have training in Internal Family Systems (IFS); Relational Life Couples Therapy (RLT); Interpersonal Neurobiology; Attachment-Based Couple and Family Therapy; Trauma Treatment; and Substance Use.
