Are you struggling to feel fulfilled in your relationships, or struggling to find relationships that fulfill you? Maybe you are in a relationship where communication keeps breaking down, even though you want things to feel better. You might notice yourself getting defensive, shutting down, or reacting to your partner’s words in ways that create more friction than the original intent. Many partnered individuals and couples I work with still care deeply, but feel misunderstood, disconnected, and unsure how to find their way back to each other.

Or maybe you’re a high-functioning person who wants partnership, but keeps finding yourself with the wrong partner. You know you have a lot to offer, yet notice a pattern of choosing emotionally unavailable people. Many of my clients are used to success in other areas of life, but feel stuck or confused in their relationships.

My approach is collaborative and relational - you know your life best. My role is to help you slow things down and find the answers that are already there, but hard to access alone. I help clients put words to emotions, communicate more clearly, reduce shame, and build relationships that feel safer and more fulfilling.

I work with high-achieving individuals and couples who feel stuck, burnt out, emotionally disconnected, or trapped in the same fights. You may excel in most areas of life, but relationships feel harder to "figure out." Together we'll slow down, uncover deeper patterns, and build tools for more clarity, emotional safety, and authentic connection.

Groups

Becoming your own Safe Place: Healing Body Image

Hosted by

Sophie Shannahoff

This group is designed for individuals who want to tend to their relationship with their bodies and with themselves. Rather than focusing on weight, appearance, or food alone, this group centers on building a deeper sense of self-trust, self-respect, and emotional safety within. Participants will explore how societal pressures, trauma, and internalized messages have shaped their self-image. This group will provide a space for individuals to practice new ways of relating to themselves with compassion, curiosity, and strength.

Managing the Anxious/Avoidant Cycle

Hosted by

Sophie Shannahoff

Are you finding yourself in a seemingly ongoing cycle with your partner(s) in which you are dancing between withdrawal, pursuit, stonewalling, or reassurance seeking? This space is intended to support you in finding a new way to relate to the people you care about; while learning self-care to address what comes up for you in response to your partner.
