I work with survivors of relational trauma and those interested in understanding cycles of generational trauma.
I believe trauma and stress can cause us to disconnect from ourselves and others and without connection, we cannot heal. Therefore the work I do with clients focuses upon healing emotionally, cognitively, socially, and physically. As these domains within heal, we can work on reconnecting with ourselves and others, allowing for our full, unfragmented, real, and genuine selves to emerge. Concepts related to reconnecting with authentic self and others are central to the work I do with all clients, including those suffering from symptoms related to anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, disordered eating, and postpartum depression.

We use different modalities to process attachment disruptions and traumas that may be causing distress. We work to reframe old narratives that are no longer serving the client, into more supportive affirming perspectives. These perspective shifts help clients become closer to their "healthiest best self." I love to work with clients who are motivated for change, able to be self reflective, and are willing to try new things to get new results.

My fundamental belief about therapy is that the most important ingredient for growth is a safe, compassionate, and supportive relationship between therapist and client. From there we can venture into the tender areas of life that are in need of gentle, respectful attention. Perhaps you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or unresolved issues related to childhood trauma. Or you may be facing the challenges of a major life transition, grief and loss, aging, or chronic illness. I believe every person has the capacity to grow into the person they want to be. I'd like to be part a partner in that journey with you.

Relational Therapists

How does relational therapy work?

Relational therapy was developed by psychologist Jean Miller, whose ideas stressed that having strong connections with others encourages better health and well-being when compared with a lonely existence. Conversely, poor interpersonal relationships do not foster growth and learning. Relational therapy also encourages trust in others and patience with others, along with better communication and less conflict.

Is relational therapy evidence-based?

Relational therapy is not well-studied, and it may not be as effective in treating certain mental health conditions when compared with evidence-based treatments like cognitive behavioral or acceptance and commitment therapy. However, relational therapy uses techniques found in cognitive behavioral therapy as well as psychodynamic therapy, which are both well-studied with empirical research.

How long are people typically in relational therapy?

Clients may see improvement after a few weeks or months of therapy. Like cognitive behavioral therapy, relational therapy can reduce symptoms within 10 to 20 weeks, at 45 to 50 minutes once a week. But like any type of therapy, improvement depends on the person and the severity of the problem.

Does relational therapy work?

While no therapy type will work for everyone, some evidence suggests that this therapy can be effective. Relational therapy can help a person manage problematic relationships as well as the mental health conditions that accompany difficult relationships like depression or anxiety. This therapy type may offer benefits that are hard to measure but can be just as valuable—including feelings of higher self-worth or healthier connections with others.
