Meet Dr. Boyce
I believe that understanding what happens to us under relational stress is essential to understanding how we communicate, connect, and navigate conflict.
Over the course of my clinical work, I've observed how protective responses that once helped people navigate difficult experiences can also create challenges in their present relationships.
These observations inform The Relational Intelligence Pathway™, the model I developed to help people recognize relational stress patterns, understand their responses, and build greater relational stability.
My work is grounded in a simple principle: greater relational awareness creates opportunities for more intentional choices, healthier communication, and meaningful connection.
The Relational Intelligence Pathway™
A trauma-informed model for understanding how stress shapes connection and how healthier relational patterns are built over time.
