Is a specific memory or experience keeping you stuck?

Trauma can be understood as a continuum of experiences that exceeds one’s ability to cope. It can range from one isolated incident, such as sexual assault, to more complex situations like emotional neglect during childhood. One of the most effective treatments for healing trauma is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) which works with your brain’s natural impulse to integrate, and process, the distressing memories, beliefs and behaviors associated with traumatic events. In addition to my signature Relational Trauma Therapy, I also specialize in EMDR for treating a range of traumatic experiences to nurture and heal the version of yourself that is stuck in the past.

Are you starting to notice that your past is showing up in your present life?

Relational trauma often manifests between you and a person that you trusted to take care of you, keep you safe and have your best interests at heart. Most often, it starts with a caregiver or parent but it can also be caused by romantic relationships. It’s a series of interwoven experiences that shaped how you connect with yourself and others. And more than that, it serves as a blueprint for all other relationships in your life. By healing from relational trauma, you are not just recovering from past pain, you are reclaiming your power, restoring your trust in relationships, and sparking joy and authenticity in all your connections.

Are you struggling in your romantic relationship?

Relationships can deeply connect us, but they can also be the source of significant trauma, pain and suffering. Relational trauma typically manifests within romantic relationships and causes us to get trapped in repetitive and toxic cycles. This modern approach to couples issues focuses on the individual within the relationship and emphasizes the importance of personal healing and growth as a pathway to resolving relationship conflicts. Often, issues within relationships stem from deep-rooted childhood wounds, attachment pain points, and individual triggers, which can hinder effective communication and connection with a partner. By dedicating space for profound inner work, individuals become more self-aware and emotionally intelligent, empowering them to approach conflicts calmly and thoughtfully.

Are you searching for a renewed sense of identity after separation?
