As a therapist, my goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental, and comfortable environment for my clients. Overall, I use an very authentic, egalitarian, honest, direct, dialogic and relational approach. I focus on the ability of clients to make changes and find freedom in their lives by utilizing their unique potential, accepting personal responsibility, and exploring the meaning in life that they desire. My style stems from my belief that the client's own internal knowledge, strength, and commitment to change is what ultimately holds the power. Relational Gestalt therapy highly informs my clinical work and therapeutic style.

Are you noticing that your past experiences, current high-stress environments, or new life transitions are impacting your mood, relationships with loved ones, and well-being? Are you feeling anxious, irritable, easily triggered, or overly stimulated? Are these symptoms impacting you as a partner, parent, child, friend, or employee? If so, you are not alone. The effects past traumas, high-stress environments (e.g., first responders, etc.), and life transitions (e.g., marriage, parenthood, college, moving, etc.) can have on us are immense and they often linger in our day and limit us to be the best version of ourselves.

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...

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.
