My specialties include the treatment of depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, phobias, and interpersonal/relationship issues.

Whether you have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or are experiencing chronic stress, feeling anxious or depressed, together we will identify goals for therapy. I tailor treatment to meet the specific needs of every client—with the aim of helping the client develop new coping skills, enhance self-awareness, foster positive change, and increase overall satisfaction and well-being.

When we face life's challenges, it's easy to feel inadequate. When we allow stress to control us, we may feel trapped in harmful patterns or unable to go forward. The therapy sessions we have will provide an opportunity to talk about ways to better your emotional and mental well-being. I think it's important to provide a judgment-free zone where people may feel comfortable expressing themselves. I also help clients with resilience and coping mechanisms. I deeply believe in the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship and the profound impact that interpersonal connections may have on one's life.

29 years experience helping adults, couples and families understand and address the sources of conflict in their interpersonal relationships and daily professional lives. The primary therapeutic goal is to effectively manage the negative emotions (such as low self-esteem, anger, anxiety and depression) which interfere with quality of life and achievement of personal and professional goals, inclusive of LBGQT life challenges. Pets are family too and an integral part of one's life and routine. The loss of a pet can be devastating. Hence, I also offer pet bereavement counseling.

Throughout life people develop a variety of assumptions, strategies, and behaviors in order to protect themselves and cope with the world around them. Over time, however, we face challenges and circumstances when the ways that we have learned to react and process are no longer effective. I believe that therapy is an opportunity to understand ourselves and the context in which these patterns developed which enables us to make deliberate choices about how we see ourselves and relate to others. By exploring and developing this awareness, clients are able to understand their own agency in their lives and work toward their personal 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.
