RECONNECT
with empathy and curiosity.
I am on the path with you.
With 22 years in partnership with my husband (my second marriage), and as a step-mom to two grown men, I have experienced both the challenges and the successes of a love relationship.
The commitment and time it takes to work through conflict is work. Relationships are a choice.
When I am frustrated or feel resentful with my partner, who I deeply love and respect …
these questions guide my next steps:
Am I willing to release judgment?
Have I owned my part of the rupture?
Am I open to hear and be curious?
Can I soften and initiate repair?
I'm ready to help
I specialize in Relational Life Therapy (RLT), a powerful approach developed by Terry Real that combines honest, direct feedback with deep compassion and practical relational skill-building.
RLT clarifies stuck patterns, initiates healthy accountability, and builds deeper emotional intimacy grounded in mutual respect, and connection-seeking.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I incorporate parts work and neurobiological grounding tools to aid each partner’s ability to empathize and develop internal self-esteem, healthy boundaries and nervous system regulation skills.
When defenses show up in session, and they will, I’ll help you navigate them—with less criticism, blame, assumptions, or withdrawal.
We will address the negative patterns, resentments or frustrations between you so you can experience safer and respectful repair.
