Waitlist for new clients
I use a relational, psychodynamic model that is best suited for adolescents and adults, and I have experience working with families and couples.
There's a difference between wandering around in the past and purposefully connecting what we've been through to our current situations. If you are looking for someone to help connect what you've been through to what you are going through now, and to identify new ways to shape your future, then I am here to help. Whether we are discussing relationship patterns, past trauma, mood disturbances or otherwise, we can work together to identify what you expect from yourself and others, and how you respond to those expectations. We will figure out how and where new expectations and ways of meeting the world will reshape your life.

I believe that one of the best things about being human is that we are relational beings; we heal and grow in community with one another.
My clients often find themselves in periods of transitions, feeling misunderstood, and navigating challenges with how they relate to themselves and others. You may be struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, and pressure from societal “shoulds”. Perhaps you are hoping to heal from trauma but unsure of where to begin. My individual and relational clients may also be seeking non-pathologizing support in navigating ethical non-monogamy/polyamory at any stage. Navigating the challenges of life can feel hard, scary, and at times, isolating. I am here to support you in that journey.

Life can be messy, chaotic, and complicated; therapy reminds me of spring cleaning. Similar to spring cleaning, therapy can be slow, overwhelming, & messy. Throughout the therapeutic process, it is my goal to support clients to embrace all the parts of them in healing from trauma. Together, we will work to unpack and find meaning, connection, understanding, and even humor. I work with individuals that have experienced sexual trauma, relational trauma, eating disorders, and struggle with the impacts of trauma. I deeply enjoy working with individuals that want to deepen their connection to self and community.

If you're reading this I want to encourage you to keep the momentum! Reaching out to a therapist is one of the most difficult and hopeful things you can do and it’s worth it! I work with anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship issues. I've been a psychologist for over 35 years and I still love the work. My approach incorporates a spiritual orientation; this is due to working with people who are in recovery, and my own journey. Spiritual based psychotherapy is not about religion, but about accessing the Power that surrounds us, the power of Love. I am an active, engaging therapist with a sense of humor, it’s good to laugh.

In the sea of white women who want to talk about your feelings: Here I am. Wildly curious, outrageously non-judgmental, and can empathize like it's my job (because it is). If it feels like you've got a one way ticket on the struggle bus, I'm here to respectfully disagree. You've got this. And I mean that even if it's crushing depression, anxiety, traumatic experiences, existential crisis, mommy/daddy/other relationship issues, substance abuse, loneliness, or systemic oppression (special shoutout to BIPOC folks and my queer/LGBTQIA fam).

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.
