In my experience, one of the most difficult things to do in life is to “begin again.” To do so takes bravery, courage and deep personal honesty. Discovering the end of a road is one thing, but being willing to collect one's self and take new steps into uncharted territory — that takes incredible strength. As one who has struggled to “begin again” I’m here to welcome, guide and encourage you on the new roads you may choose to take. If you’re looking to “begin again” or simply processing the loss of that “let down” of life, I might be the one to help guide you along that courageous journey.

I provide collaborative support for individuals, couples, and families navigating relationship troubles, depression, anxiety, trauma, shame, excessive guilt, addiction, obsessive thinking, compulsive behavior, and the vicissitudes of life. To be human is to encounter the unexpected and be vulnerable to loss, uncertainty and despair. When one tries to cope by avoiding, they likely notice the pain expands. I aim to empower others to untangle inner conflict, connect, and lead purposeful lives. Suffering is ubiquitous, and to live authentically requires profound adaptation in the face of adversity; growth begins with acknowledgement.

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.
