Relational intelligence is about how we create connection, and then maintain connection. As someone who is married, I understand the challenges that many relationships face today and how important maintaining the connection with your chosen partner(s) is in a constantly changing society.

I have worked with many couples, including “traditional” couples, polyamorous couples, and LGBTQ+ couples. I find that each couple has their own identity but faces a personalized set of challenges. In sessions, I help you hold space to fully face these challenges and learn how to create and maintain deeper connection.

I often hear individuals associate the longevity of a relationship with success, however this is not always and indicator of success. The quality of your relationship is what will indicate success. In sessions we will explore aspects such as, but not limited to, power and control, care and closeness, respect and recognition, the various bonds you have in life, needs, vulnerabilities and biases that become triggered in relationships, how you interact with the world around you, sex, sensuality, desire, romance, communication, and love. 

Relationships teach us to live with multiple perspectives, and new ways of engaging with ourselves, others, and the world around us. We will create new patterns of self-awareness, but the form of how we do this is most important.

Often, we hear the term “relationship” and think of our relationships with family, friends, and partners. But we also hold a relationship with ourselves that is easy to forget about, especially with the demands around us. When we forget about ourselves, we tend to lose connection to our identity along the way.

I have worked with many individuals facing a variety of challenges, and I find that we have multiple parts of ourselves that make up who we are. Often, it can be difficult to reconcile these parts and become the person we desire because of influences from our past, present, and desired future not aligning – especially when we experience trauma. In sessions, I help you hold space to fully face your traumas, as well as your past, present and desired future, and learn how to create and maintain an identity you are confident about.

I often hear individuals associate their traumas, accomplishments and physical appearance with their identity, however these are not always an indicator of who we are as people. Identity is unique to everyone, and how you define and connect with your identity will define who you are and how you live a genuine life. In sessions we will explore aspects such as, but not limited to, trauma, self-esteem, past experiences, values, core beliefs, relationships, behavior patterns, the ways we bond and attach to others, self-forgiveness, accountability and responsibility, power/control, emotional intelligence, gender, sexuality, faith and religion, career, and future goals. 

Our identity and resolution of trauma guides us in living a genuine life and how we engage with ourselves, others, and the world around us. We will resolve past traumas so they no longer manage your life, but you manage them. We will also create a stronger sense of self, but maintaining that connection to yourself is most important.
