Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially after relationships where trust or safety was lost. I offer a steady, compassionate space where you don’t have to perform or have everything figured out. At The Relational Space I work with individuals and couples navigating relational trauma, attachment injuries, and breakup pain—especially the kind that lingers after emotionally significant connections end or become confusing. My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and slow on purpose, prioritizing safety, consent, and nervous system regulation. Healing happens through curiosity, honesty, and a trusting relationship.
I help individuals and couples work through relational trauma, attachment wounds, and breakup recovery—especially when relationships become confusing or emotionally exhausting. My approach is trauma-informed, psychodynamic, and parts-based, focused on safety, nervous system regulation, and meaningful, lasting change.
In my space, I welcome the full spectrum of your personality- laughter, jokes, and all. I'm committed to fostering an atmosphere of genuine openness, where you can be your authentic self without fear of judgment. We're all navigating this life together, learning as we go, and I'm here to help you figure it out with support, insight, and clinical expertise!
