Are you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, alone, or confused? The life you envisioned for yourself did not look like this. You carry such shame and guilt even over the smallest things. You have been struggling with these thoughts and feelings for quite some time. You know deep down that you want to feel better but don’t know where to start.

If I let people see the real me, will they reject me? Is there something “wrong” with me that (relationships, self-discipline, fill in the blank) are so difficult? Why can’t I just get it together like everyone else? While many experience these thoughts at some point in life, many people suffer alone in them. These questions can leave us feeling shame, isolation, anxiety, depression, and self-doubt. Many of my clients come to me weary and disheartened. They long to believe that healthy, fulfilling, and safe relationships can exist. I invite you to a therapy process to be seen, heard, and challenged to heal and grow.

I believe in a whole person approach to wellness, in that we cannot separate our physical health from our mental health. They are so interrelated, as our bodies speak to the emotional adversities we’ve had to face throughout our lifetime. Sustained periods of chronic trauma or stress especially wreak havoc on us. Such traumatic events can impact our personal wellness, our interpersonal relationships, our ability to cope with stress, and sometimes even disrupt our daily functioning.

Hi there! Thanks for taking a peek at my profile. I enjoy working with all ages from adolescence to teens to adults. I've really narrowed down my craft in therapy to focus on anxiety, OCD through ERP, insomnia/sleep issues, ADHD, grief, and other interpersonal issues. When clients come to work with me in therapy we use a collaborative approach to increase rapport. As we build trust together I really hone in on honesty, transparency, and authenticity. The best way engage in therapy is by showing up as you are so I can meet you where you're at nonjudgmentally because harsh self criticism blocks us from self compassion.

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.
