My main approach is Internal Family Systems (IFS), and I also meet my clients where they’re at with relevant modalities including Relational Psychoanalysis, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), all depending on your scenario.
Throughout our lives we face many challenges, and sometimes we need more clarity and support than we find around us. This is where a trained clinical mental health provider can help bring specialized support to what you’re experiencing. Whether you are struggling with a bout of depression, living with ongoing anxiety, or have unprocessed trauma/abuse from childhood or last week, counseling can help you move from merely surviving to thriving.

I work with adult individuals who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, relational conflict, and life transitions, as well as those seeking to live with more vitality and connection.
In therapy, you can be heard and understood without judgment. The space created in therapy allows for the exploration of old patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, helping to uncover the root of the problem. By sharing your experiences with another person, you engage in a healing process that expands future possibilities for living. As a result, you will begin to feel more alive and connected to your own life.

As a counselor, I seek to create an environment where people feel safe, heard, valued, and honored. My style is very relational, collaborative, encouraging, and empowering using evidence-based models of therapeutic care. I feel that people can bring their frustrations, anger, fears, sadness, anxiety, ambivalence, and dissatisfaction into the counseling process. Throughout my 25 year career, I have been so fortunate to walk thousands of people through painful circumstances to experience necessary hope and healing in life.

Waitlist for new clients
My clients say that I am a relaxed and accepting therapist, prepared to listen to them and respond to their concerns with insight and strategies for change. I operate from the understanding that our lives are an ongoing process of creation, some of which may fall outside of our usual awareness, but in which we may learn to take an effective, guiding role. Therapy works to identify and alter the motivations and misunderstandings which promote interpersonal conflicts and behavioral problems, and result in the experience of anxiety and depression in our daily lives.

Picking a psychotherapist you trust can be difficult. People who are seeking help have been hurt. Often times, sought out help in the past and have been hurt as well. I see it being hard to live this life without sustaining some sort of injury. In this way, we can all use help. We are all different in how we interpret the world around us. Reasonably, your therapy (help) matches this belief, you are unique and how you'll be helped will also be unique. Having someone not attached to the events of your life can facilitate new meaning and in turn, new choices as to how to see life now, historic injuries and where you want to go next.

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.
