Making the decision to prioritize personal growth through therapy is both courageous and admirable. You may need to step outside of your comfort zone and into the potentially unknown area of change and vulnerability, but luckily, you don’t need to navigate this new territory on your own. My experience includes working with families and individuals from various socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, who have presented with many different issues. I feel honored to work with clients and have received positive feedback for my ability to maintain an empathetic and strength-based perspective throughout the course of therapy.

You’re the person who feels like you should have it together but is wondering where you fit; feels like people "just can’t know this thing about me"; looks like someone but feels like someone else; carries a secret that no one can know about. You're wondering, “Who am I now?” and terrified that the people you love most will see that. There’s a part of you that feels so hidden, so shameful that you don’t dare tell anyone. You’re certain that if they find out, they won’t want you anymore. And so you keep everyone away from that part; finally, that has meant keeping everyone away. You're hurting. You're lost. And you are lonely.

Life doesn't come with a manual, and like most of us, you're doing your best with the cards you've been dealt. You're motivated and eager to enhance the quality of your life. But sometimes, life's answers seem elusive, and 'proven' methods might not always resonate with your unique experiences. Just as there's no one-size-fits-all tool in a toolbox, there's no singular 'best' psychological method. For over 20 years, I've had the privilege of working with thousands of individuals. While I'm extensively trained in traditional therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, bio/neurofeedback, anxiety & OCD therapy

Thoughts are very powerful things. Sometimes we get stuck in negative, self-defeating thought spirals. We might think we're not good enough or that we're somehow undeserving of love, respect, and success. Often these thoughts are so automatic that we simply accept them as true. My goal as a therapist is to help people examine and question their negative self-beliefs. With a more accurate and balanced understanding of our talents, strengths, and value, our lives become fuller as we open up to new possibilities. I'd like to help you on your journey.

It is our relationship to our "issues" and not the "issue" itself, that causes us difficulties in our every day life. I will work beside you as you uncover your authentic self and realize that your connection with others will be the loving, caring, respectful relationships that we all desire.

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.
