Are you tired of psychiatric providers not getting to know you and treating you like a number rather than a person? Are you looking for someone to manage your medications and also care about you and your process? Are you hoping to feel connected to your medication management provider rather than it feeling like a transactional interaction? My goal as a psychiatric nurse practitioner is to create an authentic relationship with my patients so that we can collaboratively work on achieving their goals.

I work by helping people understand themselves more fully so that long lasting gains may be reached in personal and professional settings. Through learning that takes place in the working relationship with me, long term personal growth can be achieved free of much, if any, need for medication treatment. A judicious approach to psychotropic medication treatment is used in my practice. Modern psychoanalytic techniques are commonly put to use in my practice and I believe that in working openly together we may achieve a great deal. In addition, holistic approaches are discussed and are sometimes recommended.

Relational Psychiatrists

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.
