Mindful Growth Family Therapy

“After trauma, relationships heal through patience, understanding, trust and true empathy.”

Maybe you’re questioning if your relationship can survive infidelity.

Maybe you’re pulling away from your family because closeness feels unsafe.

Or maybe you’re struggling to create new, healthy relationships and wondering if you'll ever feel safe enough to do so.

Healing doesn’t mean pretending it never happened. It means facing the pain with support and building relationships that feel more honest, secure, and meaningful than before. You don’t have to go through this alone. Together, we can begin the work of repair.

Here is a bit more about how I approach this work.

I don’t take a “one-size-fits-all” or surface-level approach to therapy. I work from a systemic and relational perspective, which means I look at the bigger picture. I examine how your experiences, relationships, and environment all play a role in what you’re going through. Whether I’m meeting with an individual, a couple, or a family, I’m always paying attention to the patterns that keep people stuck and the possibilities for creating new, healthier ways of connecting.

Therapy with me isn’t just about talking week after week without direction. We go deeper than surface conversations, so we can uncover what’s really driving the pain, the distance, or the conflict. I believe real healing comes from understanding not just what happened, but why it hurts the way it does. Then, making intentional changes that move you toward the kind of relationships and life you want. I believe my role is to provide you with a safe space to heal and help you take real steps towards growth.

While I don’t focus heavily on labels or diagnoses, I don’t ignore the impact of trauma, mental health, or how your body carries pain. I use a whole-person approach, drawing from the biopsychosocial model, to consider how your mind, body, relationships, and lived experiences all influence your healing. By looking at the whole picture together, we create space not only for relief in the moment but also for lasting change.
