Also, I have many years experience working with elementary age children involving issues such as ADHD, anger, relational difficulties, and blended/step//single family issues.
I believe the "fit", or connection, is crucial to successful therapy. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental setting which fosters clarity and insight and creates the conditions for growth and healing. I use an interpersonal and developmental approach but am also able to work from a different perspective when conditions call for one. I am experienced in helping people with their thought processes as they encounter the difficulties and challenges of life. I work with individual adults, adolescents, and elementary school age children and their families.

Change can be stressful. LIFE can be stressful! Sometimes, the transition might be the birth of a child, a new job, a new relationship or it could involve the loss of a loved one, or coping with a family member being ill. I am particularly passionate about helping women, especially those entering parenthood, those living with grief & loss or those entering a new stage of life. If you feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, sadness or even hopelessness, you do not have to feel alone. Those recurring thoughts of self doubt or painful relational patterns CAN be changed.

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.
