    Relational Connecting Therapy (ReCT)

    Built for real life. Rooted in emotional clarity and connection.

    Feeling like your life is constantly being pulled out from under you?
    ReCT helps you get back in control, of your emotions, your relationships, and your identity.

    You don’t have to fix everything in one day.
    You just need a path, and someone who gets it.

    Relational Connecting Therapy (ReCT) is a neuro-informed, emotionally grounded therapy model that helps you break free from painful patterns, strengthen your sense of self, and create healthier relationships, with others and yourself.

    Whether you’re overwhelmed by family dynamics, stuck in a relationship that hurts and heals you at the same time, or just trying to feel normal again, ReCT gives you structure, tools, and emotional safety, without fluff, judgment, or pressure.

    It starts with an 8-week foundation, a clear, guided path toward connection and clarity. After that, you set the pace. Some continue weekly, some biweekly or monthly. The journey is yours.

    ReCT isn’t just therapy. It’s a way forward.

    Who ReCT Works for:

    ReCT is for anyone who feels overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in emotional and relational patterns that just won’t let go.

    Whether you’re showing up alone, with a partner, or as part of a family or group—this model is built to meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity and connection.

    ReCT is designed for:

    • Individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, identity confusion, or emotional exhaustion

    • Couples trying to repair trust, improve communication, recover from betrayal, or reconnect after growing apart

    • Families working through conflict, parenting challenges, generational trauma, or loss

    • Groups or teams dealing with emotional breakdown, tension, avoidance, or high-stakes pressure

    You don’t have to fit a perfect mold to belong here.
    ReCT is built on the belief that everyone deserves connection, and everyone has the capacity to grow.
