Trauma-Informed Couples Therapy
Heal your trauma and free your relationship.
Do you sense that traumas from your past (or your partner’s past) are limiting your life or relationship? Trauma-informed Couples Counseling may be just what you need.
Are you feeling like reactions go from 1 to 100 for no reason, and because of that you feel powerless to have a productive conversation and find solutions?
Is jealousy or control too much a part of your relationship?
Do you find yourself arguing over issues too strongly and disrespectfully to the partner you promised to love and cherish? Do you notice you feel deeply wounded or angry?
Have you noticed that in your family some damaging issues and dynamics seem to take place again & again?
Transformation is Possible
Even if you have been plagued by events in your past, you can still find ways to heal, to come back to who you used to be, to be your best self.
You do not have to be rationalizing or justifying your reactions “because” of things that have happened to you.
Your reactions can change. Your ways of living can shift.
You do not have to be the person who doesn’t trust, doesn’t like affection, or is quick to anger…you can have a better, more peaceful life.
I help you process your grief, talk out your feelings, and get to what you need at this time. It is often EXTREMELY difficult for partners to talk these matters out by themselves without shutting down or having emotions take over the conversation.
Processing is VERY important as a precursor to all that comes next. From there I help you understand each other’s needs and perspectives, options and desires - doing this in a safe and productive environment so that you can make informed decisions on how best to move forward.
You have the potential to release yourself and your whole family from the binds that tie you.
Relationship dynamics, family systems, and trauma are complicated topics I studied for many years. I also did a specialty in Traumatology in my doctoral program, learning various techniques for healing and managing traumas. Now I can use that knowledge and my 23 years of experience to help you transform those painful places, like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

How do we cope together?
When one of you is hurting from a past trauma, it OFTEN greatly impacts the relationship - trust, abandonment, communication, intimacy can be affected.
Trauma-informed couples counseling addresses the pain utilizing the relationship as a safe place to recover and rebuild. This is a journey…one worth taking.
