Relate Better.

Support for individuals seeking deeper, more fulfilling connections

You've built a life that looks put-together from the outside, managing responsibilities and showing up as capable in your various roles.

While you navigate the world with competence, there's a growing awareness that your relationships - whether with a parent, friends, partners, or even yourself - don't feel as fulfilling as you sense they could be.

Somewhere beneath the surface of these connections, there's a whisper, a quiet knowing that you're being called to experience relationships differently, with more depth and authenticity than what has felt possible until now.

You find yourself repeating patterns in relationships, perhaps choosing similar partners, encountering the same conflicts with family members, or maintaining friendships that don't quite meet your deeper needs for connection.

You're yearning for relationships where you can be both strong and vulnerable, where connection feels natural rather than forced, and where you don't have to compromise essential parts of yourself to maintain harmony with others.

When you're tired of relationships that leave you feeling disconnected, misunderstood, or somehow unable to break free from recurring patterns, you've arrived at the right place.

You're ready to understand what's happening beneath the surface of your connections and transform not just your relationships with others, but most importantly the relationship with yourself.

Trust me, I get you.

I understand the struggle of relationship patterns that don't align with who you truly are.

My path to this work began in a familiar place, navigating relationships that didn't reflect the connection I deeply desired, despite having other aspects of my life in order. I found myself repeating patterns in relationships that created distance rather than closeness, often without understanding why.

Through my own healing journey, I discovered how these patterns were connected to early relationship blueprints I'd learned. I had to face how I was contributing to my own disconnection, and the ways I protected myself that actually prevented the very intimacy I longed for.

What transformed my relationships wasn't just learning techniques, but understanding how my upbringing, including ancestral threads, shaped how I connected with others and myself. This awareness allowed me to make new choices rather than unconsciously repeating familiar cycles.

My extensive training at the Ackerman Institute for the Family deepened my ability to recognize these patterns, particularly how our early experiences influence our adult relationships. This integration of personal and professional knowledge now allows me to guide others through similar transformations.

Client Reflections

Pamela Rosario, Attorney

Working with Josie reshaped my life in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Her wisdom and ability to see through the layers of my emotions and experiences, always left me feeling so understood and incredibly safe. Because of our shared background, Josie brought an empathy and insight to conversations that resonated with me on a personal level and honestly, sometimes blew me away. Every session was a powerful experience because her medicine isn’t just about healing, it’s about empowering you to move forward and be confident to work with the most important tool you have - yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The relationship patterns you experience often stem from internal blueprints formed through your life experiences and ancestral inheritance. By healing and transforming these patterns within yourself, you naturally change how you show up in all your relationships. Many clients find that as they develop greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and authentic communication skills, their relationships transform even without their partner's direct involvement. That said, for some relationship challenges, couples work may eventually be beneficial as a complement to your individual growth.

  • Absolutely. This work transforms all relationships, including the one with yourself, which is the foundation for every other connection in your life.
