We can learn a lot about ourselves in relationships, but often our vulnerabilities can be heightened, and we can be at a loss for how to communicate our needs and desires effectively.

In relational therapy, I utilize a combination of nervous system regulation strategies, attachment theory, sex-positive counseling, somatic therapy, Hakomi, Internal Family Systems, and family systems therapy. My intention in relational therapy is to support your relationship’s growth and deepen interpersonal awareness and connection.

In relationships, we often only listen to part of our loved one’s experience because a part of ourselves may be preoccupied with pain or worry. Often our individual histories cloud our ability to hear one another accurately. When we begin relational therapy, our first step is to learn to listen our nervous systems so we can begin to hear our loved ones with softness while also attuning to our internal responses. When we can receive our partner more fully and express our needs and desires with clarity, our relationship will deepen and we will feel more connection to our partner and ourselves. Through relational therapy, you will discover more about yourself, deepen your love and understanding of one another and increase secure attachment in your relationship.
