We've all been there. Maybe we feel stuck in a vicious cycle. Some of us are struggling with a pattern of unstable relationships. Maybe we have lost a loved one and need support. Maybe you're feeling sad, hopeless or quick to anger. Perhaps you've tried to quit a substance that is causing you more harm than good and have been unsuccessful.

The focus of my therapy practice is to help couples improve the quality of their relationship. I only work with couples. When we have a more secure and positive relationship we cope better and do better in the rest of our life. In our work together you will begin to identify the negative patterns that have lead to feelings of disconnection. You will then learn how to re-connect and be able to have the relationship you are looking for.

As a licensed clinician, I believe in two fundamental truths. The first being "I believe in the possibility of change" and the second "I create a safe space to make that change". These beliefs help people heal and recover. As we develop in life, we all face transition and change. Some of these waters are difficult to navigate through and few of us can do so without a guide or support. I will support you so that you can see a clear path to your desired goals.

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.
