I draw from Acceptance & Commitment Therapy as well as EMDR interventions when dealing with relational trauma and the desire to change.
I love working with clients who want a better understanding of the deep interior of their mental, physical, and spiritual function in relation to the world around them and the relationships they engage in. Using an eclectic and collaborative approach, the relationship I build with my clients is deeply rooted in the Humanistic tradition of treating others with unconditional positive regard. Paradoxically, many of our wounds are created in painful relationships that make us scared to trust other people, yet these wounds can only be healed within the context of relationship; therapy provides this opportunity.

I work in a relational and trauma-informed way to meet you where you’re at, co-create space for healing, and journey with you toward your goals.
Feeling stressed, anxious, unsure of yourself? Experienced trauma and don't know how to heal and move forward? Struggling with finding relationships that feel good and meaningful? I help individuals and couples/relationships feel seen, safe, and understood while healing and gaining emotional skills for navigating our often isolating, unsafe, and stressful world. We'll compassionately explore your story, identities, values, and ways of surviving and coping to figure out what's working and what you want to change. Being human is messy. You don't have to do this alone. I'd love to connect.

Overcoming trauma is the most liberating action any one person can take for themselves. I am EMDR trained and I have found EMDR to be far and away the most effective trauma therapy. It has been almost magical to see how clients transform with EMDR. Helping people change the way they think, act, and feel, especially in relation to something that has been interfering with their every day lives, is endlessly rewarding.

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.
