SERVICES
Soulful Relationship Therapy offers individual therapy, couples therapy, and trauma-informed therapy for clients located in Illinois and California.
Therapy begins by understanding what you are carrying, what has been happening in your life or relationships, and what kind of support may be most helpful at this point.
Some people come with a clear concern. Others seek therapy because life feels heavier, connection feels harder, or familiar ways of coping no longer feel like enough.
Together, we'll explore what brings you here and determine whether individual therapy, couples therapy, or trauma-focused therapy is the best place to begin.
Couples Therapy
Couples therapy offers a structured space for partners who feel stuck, distant, reactive, uncertain, or unable to find their way back to one another.
You may be dealing with recurring conflict, emotional distance, betrayal, trust repair, parenting stress, sexual or affectionate disconnection, or the fear that your relationship may be nearing a breaking point.
My work with couples is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy and a relational understanding of distress. Rather than focusing only on communication skills, we slow down the cycle between you and begin to understand the fears, longings, protections, and meanings underneath what keeps happening.
Couples therapy may support repair, reconnection, greater honesty, or a clearer understanding of what the relationship needs next. The goal is not to force a particular outcome, but to create space for what has been hard to say, hard to hear, and hard to change alone.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Trauma-informed therapy offers space to understand how painful experiences may still be shaping your body, relationships, choices, and sense of safety.
You may be carrying the impact of sexual assault, childhood trauma, relational or betrayal trauma, military, veteran, or service-related experiences, moral injury, guilt, or experiences that conflict with your values.
Trauma can show up as anxiety, emotional numbing, avoidance, shame, irritability, difficulty trusting, feeling constantly on guard, or realizing that life has slowly become smaller over time.
My trauma-informed work is grounded in safety, pacing, and respect for the ways you have survived. When clinically appropriate, I may draw from EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and other trauma-informed approaches to support healing and integration.
