I believe in meeting my clients where they are, helping them identify where they want to be, and working with them to make a tangible plan to get there. I believe therapy should be a judgment-free, empathetic environment where we build a therapeutic relationship that facilitates even the most painful growth. Through this approach, clients understand that I am genuinely motivated to help them reach their happiest, healthiest self, which allows me to provide difficult feedback when necessary. Optimum wellness looks different for everyone, and I believe that no matter what everyone can and deserves to pursue (and achieve) this state.

I do a lot of work with individuals and couples struggling in relationship issues. Anxiety, depression, conflict management and communication issues tend to be the results of clients applying ineffective solutions to the problems they're experiencing. I love to see the individual and/or couple who seriously desire healthy change in their lives and are willing to risk implementing different approaches to their problems. I work well in family related issues. I have several adolescent guys with issues related to ADD, ADHD, and Aspergers. I offer them an environment that's safe, accepting, understanding and validating.

Since the days of pigtails, I’ve been pulled by this strong force to access wisdom and connect with something higher than this tangible world. This gnawing passion has led me to study the power of the mind and how to create what our souls truly desire. I’ve been blessed to study ancient technologies such as yoga and breathwork and am so passionate about sharing simple tools to effect real change. I was trained in counseling at University of North Texas, receiving my Masters in Education. My favorite courses were transpersonal counseling and stress reduction through movement.

My role as a therapist is to empower you to help yourself. I believe when we personally see the need for change and are intrinsically motivated to change, we experience movement in therapy at a much faster rate than if we are pushed to change by outside sources. Let me help you find your intrinsic self-worth.

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.
