Whether you are working towards having a better relationship, heal from past childhood trauma, or understanding a past break-up or divorce, I am here for you.
You are having a conversation with either your partner or parent that does not go the way you want even after preparing for it in your head. Numerous conversations on the same topic go nowhere. You often times think, “Is it me”, “Am I overreacting”, “I can’t do anything right.” Their comments are lowering your energy and you often times feel like giving up on the relationship. You find yourself wondering if you should tell your friends again because you are afraid of what they will think about your relationship. I hear you.

I am an experienced trauma therapist: with a psychodynamic, relational, stage based lens through which I help my patients understand that the problems they experience in the here and now, including depression, anxiety, and relationship problems, are often rooted in their overwhelming life experience.
In this time of crisis and fear that the whole world is experiencing, I think that I must first address how any person who comes to me is coping, how she/he is managing safety and fears for her/himself and his/her family. We cannot dissociate what is happening to all of us now because that replicates what may have happened to many of us in some distant past traumatic experience: Not to talk about what happened. My clients often have struggled with similar problems for years, often working hard in therapy, but not fully understanding the link between their struggles and their experiences in the past.

My clients vary from individuals and couples dealing with conflict, sexual issues, trauma, personality disorders, relationship concerns, shame, infidelity, lack of self-worth, divorce, parenting, premarital work and attachment work.
The journey to do emotional work is not an easy one. I have experienced my own personal work and growth in my life and can meet you in yours in therapy with compassion, vulnerability and empathy. Our life experiences can manifest in many ways and those trauma responses can morph into patterns that leave us feeling powerless and lost. We can be driven by unconscious primary emotions that keep us in a triggered and reactive cycle when we are seeking secure and loving connections. As a change agent and a connection expert, I can assist you in your ability to connect with others and thrive.

Hi there! My name is Hunaina (rhymes with Banana) and I work with individuals, couples and families struggling with relationship disconnection and/or conflict. My training is in relational science whether that be a romantic relationship or familial relationship. It’s true that growth and healing is not a straight or easy path. It can get uncomfortable and messy, but that is the cost of relational happiness. Anything worth having will cost you something. It has been said that the quality of your relationships determines the quality of your life, so why wouldn’t you work on the most significant contributor to a life well lived?

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
