EFT is the fastest growing evidence-based method for treating relational distress in the world.
"I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW WE GOT HERE." Sound familiar? It does to me, because I've heard it over and over in my office. By the time many couples make it into counseling, they feel disillusioned and angry, even hopeless. Please know, however, that there is hope! Research into relationships shows that couples can discover and change how they interact, leading to a restoration of the connection they once had, or the creation of the one they always wanted.

My approach is relational in nature & I take my specific training from ACT, brainspotting, RCT, & existentialism to create the approach that will work best for you.
Do you ever wake up and question what your purpose is? Do you notice that those outward successes & achievements you strived so hard for no longer bring any joy or fulfillment? Going through the day-to-day routine just feeling on autopilot with all your interactions and activities even when the weekend comes & it is meant to be time for you. Even the strongest shot of expresso can't seem to shake you out of this haze. If you are ready to dig in, & question what you thought you wanted & who you thought you were then you are ready to work together. You are ready to leave others' expectations behind & find yourself.

I am a NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model) therapist and I integrate a variety of evidence-based and mind-body-spirit approaches to support you consciously creating your own path & legacy.
Humaning and adulting is hard. We do our best to juggle all the things and sometimes the coping strategies we develop backfire or no longer work. We all have baggage, some of it heavier than others, but what if instead of just slapping on band-aids, we could actually heal the root of the struggles? Therapy isn't about "fixing" you, it's about helping you navigate roadblocks, empowering you with greater choices, and rediscovering the inner power & wisdom you already possess. I'd be honored to embark on this journey to (re)connect with your authentic self and create a life that aligns with your unique path.

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.
