“I have had the pleasure of working with Gretchen as a therapist for almost two years. In this short time, I have experienced profound growth, expansion, and healing—far beyond what I ever imagined was available to me. I know in my heart that I can go to her with anything, that she will hold both my words and my being with unwavering care. I can state my fears, bring my trauma into the room, and know that she will meet me with precision, compassion, and presence in every single moment. Our work together has cracked me open and turned me inside out in the best possible way, allowing me to develop the capacity to witness grief—my own and others'—and instilling in me a deep sense of self-nurturing and self love that has led me to believe in my full potential.” ~K. J.

Meet Gretchen
Gretchen is a therapist specializing in Relational Life Therapy, mindfulness, and embodied practices for individuals and couples. Her couples therapy uniquely blends relational work with somatic therapy, creating deeper connection and transformation from the inside out.
Many of our deepest wounds were formed in relationship — in the moments we weren’t attuned to, protected, or fully seen. Relational Recovery recognizes that because the pain was relational, the healing must also be relational. Instead of trying to fix ourselves in isolation, we grow inside connection that is steady, attuned, and rooted in mutual respect.
