What Is Relational Trauma?
Relational trauma is the lasting imprint of harm that happens within relationships, often in childhood or family, sometimes in later romantic ones. It's less about a single event and more about patterns: not feeling safe, seen or soothed over time.
Left unresolved, that trauma tends to follow us into adulthood, shaping how we trust, set boundaries and handle closeness. Naming it is the first step toward changing it.

How We Work
A Body-Based Approach to Healing Attachment Trauma
Because relational trauma lives in the body as much as the mind, we work with both. My approach brings together attachment-based therapy, somatic and nervous-system work, and trauma-informed care, so we're not only understanding old patterns but gently changing how they feel in your body.
As a licensed therapist and holistic health coach, I also pay attention to the whole picture: sleep, stress and the daily habits that either settle or stir up your nervous system. Between sessions, you'll have simple, practical tools, breath, grounding and nervous-system regulation, to come back to calm on your own.
This is steady, collaborative work, always at your own pace.
