The relationship is the work.

If you have been in therapy and felt like your therapist was applying techniques rather than being a person in the room with you, you may be looking for relational therapy.

Relational therapy places the therapeutic relationship at the center. Not as a backdrop for interventions, but as the intervention itself.

What relational therapy looks like

I am not a blank screen. I notice what happens between us, the moments of connection and disconnection, the things you almost say. And I bring what I notice into the conversation so we can think about it together.

Why the relationship heals

Most wounds were created in relationship. The mother who could not attune. The partner who confused control with love. These injuries cannot be healed by insight alone. They are healed through the lived experience of a different kind of relationship.

You discover that your needs do not drive me away. That your anger does not destroy the connection. That knowledge, earned through experience, is what changes the underlying patterns.

Who this is for

People who have felt unseen in previous therapy. People carrying the mother wound, attachment trauma, or the loneliness of high achievement. People who sense that what they need is not a protocol but a relationship.

Sessions are $175, Fridays, 8 AM to 4 PM. In-person in Seattle and telehealth throughout Washington.
