We all go through difficulties at one point or another in our lives. It is natural to seek out connection and validation when we feel vulnerable. Rather than navigating these challenges on your own, therapy provides an opportunity where you can get support and learn new ways of coping to make meaningful changes in your life. In therapy, I create a supportive and safe space to help individuals process their current struggles and share their personal experiences in order to find healing and transformation.

You're not happy.  You're not really sure when it all began, but slowly you find your life less fulfilling.  You can't find the motivation to get anything done, you're struggling to concentrate at work, and nothing interests you anymore.  It's like you're slipping into some black hole, and every day you sink just a little further. Sometimes, it's the anxiety that bothers you.  You're worried all the time, and it's making it hard just to function. You feel like you just can't take this insanity anymore. And then, this thought crosses your mind, "Maybe it would be better if I just didn't exist anymore." And this thought scares you...

I am accepting Private or PPO clients. Early parenthood, Postpartum, pregnancy, loss and fertility can come with feelings of overwhelm, worry, sadness, anger, frustration, and not feeling like yourself. You might be having thoughts that feel scary to you. Look, no one expects to feel horrible during pregnancy or after having a baby, but a lot of moms and parents do. And sometimes your partner doesn't understand either, or everyone just expects you to be happy and grateful. That's too much pressure and it's not real life. You need to feel heard, understood and supported. And you need skills and tools to help your healing along.

Discovering ourselves can raise different emotions because as humans we tend to wear a mask to appear to others differently. Perhaps, we wear a masks as shields to protect us from others hurting us or wear masks because we are fearful to show who we really are as individuals. Are you are willing to heal those open wounds that continuously hurt you and stop you from moving forward? Do you want to stop listening to your inner voice and stop judging yourself (no one judges you more than yourself). This process could definitely be painful and it is hard work; however, you can make some changes if you are willing to do so.

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.
