I am committed to facilitating a space in which you feel understood, valued, and supported as we prioritize your goals, explore your story, and incorporate strategies for reintegrating pieces of your Self so you also can experience increased personal acceptance and relational connection.
I am a trauma-informed provider supporting individuals and couples navigating grief/loss, conflict, trauma and transition. I am passionate about supporting folks identifying as neurodiverse or neurocomplex (eg. eg. autistic, AuDH, diagnosed with ADHD, etc ). Clients I support often struggle with the impact of stories about who they "should be", questioning, "Do I matter?" or shedding pieces of themselves to create a sense of belonging. Understanding our stories is one of the bravest things we can do. Together we can explore yours, identify your values and strengths, and pursue healing and growth.

From a place of openness and curiosity, I provide a warm and affirming space for you to heal and grow. You don’t have to do it alone, I would be honored and humbled to join you.

Skills acquired within therapy sessions have helped them to achieve significant emotional and relational healing.
"History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived; however, if faced with courage, need not be lived again". Facing pain and brokenness of the deepest kind requires amazing strength and courage! Counseling is a unique opportunity to connect w/ the overwhelming issues that can block one's most earnest efforts to "do it differently this time". I'd consider it an honor to work with you as you come to understand your story--whether anxiety, discouragement, addictions, relationships. I look forward to collaborating with you in this challenging, yet rewarding work, as you move toward freedom from any concern that holds you back.

Relational support is often vital.
(Note: Formerly Wolf-Stanton Psychotherapy) We all experience some sort of pain, stress, trauma, or adversity in our personal lives and relationships. When our hearts ache, we search for ways to cope. These initial ways of coping often are adaptive in the short term. However, in the longer term, these same coping strategies may hinder further growth and healing. You and I can work together without judgment to dismantle painful experiences and cultivate a strong, empowered, and healthy core sense of self. You can realize your full potential and mobilize into healthy and constructive patterns of thought, behavior, and emotion.

One of my favorite things a patient has said to me is “Thank you for being part of my journey”. That’s what life is to me – a journey we are all on together. What I want for everyone is that they can overcome any barriers they may have so they can tune into their whole selves and live life to its fullest. I use a mixed relational approach pulling from person-centered therapy, existential therapy, DBT and more. I am committed to providing you a safe, sex positive, non-judgmental space for trust and growth to happen. I work with people from all walks of life on issues like anxiety, ADHD, family history, and relationships, etc.

My approach is warm, relational and professional, while modeling boundaries, emotion communication, and introspective depth.
Many of us find ourselves at transition points in our lives, or feeling stuck and not sure what to do next. Although life may seem pretty normal, maybe you often feel afraid, numb, agitated, or deeply sad. You may consider your problems as not that bad compared to others. If you feel stuck or lost, I am here to explore the dark spaces with you and to look for the light. I will be a witness and a compassionate guide on the journey to deeper self-knowledge and relationship satisfaction.

My therapy style is primarily relational and interpersonal.
Do you feel overwhelming pain? Do you have grief that is hard to express? Have you noticed yourself reacting to situations instead of responding to them? Are you navigating challenging relationships? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, I’m here to help. With my support, you can learn how to process pain, express grief, find meaning and joy, understand how your past affects your present, and nourish your relationships with healthy boundaries. After working with me, you'll see the hard and painful parts of your life as chapters rather than the defining theme of your story.

I believe that each step we take towards self-reflection and relational understanding helps break down powerful patterns that make us feel stuck and hopeless. Giving your emotions a voice can be a freeing and validating experience. It is my role to help this process happen in a way that is safe and meaningful to bring hope and awareness into your life.

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.
