What does it mean to do ‘relationships better’?

Arguably, the most important relationship we have is the one we nourish with ourselves. “doing relationships better” starts at this essential core root. Here’s the thing, everything is relational. From the way we show up for ourselves to the way we are in communion with others. Therapy from a relational perspective honors the inter-tangled reality of the human condition: we are because we were. we were because we are.

I empower my clients to refine, deepen, and strengthen their communication, foster emotional intimacy with self and others, stop letting the moods of someone else dictate their own, and address cyclical relational patterns that feel difficult to end.

Therapeutic Philosophy

I practice primarily from a jungian, emotionally focused, psychodynamic, black feminist—narrative framework.

Beyond the clinical jargon what does this mean? I fundamentally believe in the beautifully complicated nuances of childhood. Our childhood homes are the very universes that shape who we are, knit together our one-of-a-kind nervous systems, and crystalize essential neural pathways—it all really matters. I am fascinated with digging up + tracing the root systems of the beliefs, reactions, narratives, and self- definitions we hold close. I equip clients with unquenchable wonder and a deeply grounded understanding of who they are, where they have been, and how to get to where their hearts yet yearn to be.
