I believe that change occurs when we are met with compassion, deep listening and a sense of hope. I focus primarily on traumatic grief with an understanding that there is no wrong way to feel, timeline or expectations. My approach is individualized and draws upon several interventions such at the ATTEND model for grief, trauma focused CBT and mindfulness. Many of my clients have lost loved ones to sudden and traumatic deaths including suicide, auto accidents, homicides, medical malpractice and long term illnesses. I believe in walking beside you during the most difficult time of your life and drawing upon your inner strengths.

I am currently accepting new clients ages 18 and up for individual counseling, in office and via video telehealth. Common presenting issues include anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, and relational challenges. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of success in therapy. Without feelings of safety and trust, it is difficult to let down your defenses.

My clients seek out concrete and reliable tools to overcome anxiety and depression. Many are mothers and grateful for my ability to understand their unique life challenges, having had a very large family of my own. Other clients learn to map out the painful and lingering effects of personal trauma or loss, overcome their suffering and rediscover joy. Having personally lost both parents within a 4 month period, I know the painful price of love, that is, the death of a loved one. For this reason, I also offer home visits to those with limited mobility. I love helping persons build strong self-esteem and creating better life stories.

My approach to therapy is integrative and includes the mental, physical, spiritual, energetic and emotional components of healing. I am eclectic and use a variety of counseling techniques and bodywork modalities to match the client's needs and situation. My ideal client is one who has used traditional talk therapy and is 'stuck' in the loop of the mind and wishes to heal, change, grow or resolve and move on with life. Most conditions are improved by my approach, especially with those who are willing. I see couples for relationship counseling using a you/me/us approach. It works!

I work with children, adolescents, and adults. I believe in treating the whole person, and I work closely with other professionals as needed in order to help clients with difficulties in both mind (motivation, depression, stress management, anxiety, learning disabilities) and body (autoimmune disorders, chronic/complex pain, cancer). I am particularly interested in helping clients who are coping with multiple stressors (e.g., relationship problems, career issues, health concerns, trauma). I believe it is essential that each client's treatment strategy is tailored specifically to his or her needs, style of interaction, and ability to work toward specific goals.

I have found that people are the most successful in their counseling journey when they are ready to work on what brings them in. While individuals may not be able to identify their specific goals, they are motivated for a change to occur. Motivation is what propels each person throughout the counseling process to achieve the goals that are established together.

Interpersonal Therapists
Is interpersonal therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found interpersonal therapy to be effective for life transitions including retirement, divorce, and job loss. Also, some studies have found it to be just as useful as medication and other therapy approaches. The benefits of interpersonal therapy can last long after treatment has been completed; the individual can use the tenets of this therapy throughout their life.
How long does interpersonal therapy take?
Interpersonal psychotherapy is normally time-limited and focuses on specific problems in the client’s everyday relationships. Treatment can be either one-on-one or take place in a group setting; it tends to last 12 to 16 weeks, depending on the individual client’s needs. If a new interpersonal problem arises in the future, the client may require additional therapy to address it specifically. The timeline and session schedule may vary depending on the client’s challenges as well as their progress. Treatment may conclude with wrap-up sessions to review the client’s accomplishments.
Is interpersonal therapy effective?
Research shows that interpersonal therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of conditions such as depression or anxiety. The approach may also offer a range of benefits that are hard to measure but valuable—including healthier relationships and improved feelings of self-worth. The therapist will give the client practical solutions that can be put into practice. The brief duration of this therapy also means that clients can see changes in their relationships fairly quickly.
What are the limitations of interpersonal therapy?
Interpersonal therapy may not effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as psychosis, chronic illness, or alcohol relapse. Because it is short-term in nature, it may not be the best approach for conditions that need to be tracked, though maintenance sessions are a viable approach under these circumstances.
Can interpersonal psychotherapy be done online?
Yes, interpersonal psychotherapy can be conducted effectively either in-person or online. A therapist with expertise in IPT will be able to adjust their techniques, such as role-playing, to better suit the online environment. Offering online IPT can make it more accessible for clients who have transportation difficulties; it also provides the ideal opportunity to explore challenges unique to digital relationships.
