I have found that using in-depth, relational therapy (integrated with other therapy methods) has proven effective in helping my clients heal their emotional injuries.
For over thirty-five years I have been immersed in helping children, adolescents, and adults change the dysfunctional attitudes and relationship patterns that have interfered with their ability to live in fulfilling ways. My focus with clients is on promoting their psychological healing and development, integrating their whole person--mind, body, and spirit. I am passionately committed to supporting others on their courageous journeys from woundedness to wisdom.

Don't go another day with your pain. Perhaps you have reached a point in your life in which something has to change; the sadness, anger, confusion or depression have become too great a burden to carry. Perhaps you have been a victim of profound brokenness and long for healing and a brighter future.

Very early on in my youth, I found that all I wanted to do in this life was help others. Now, as a psychotherapist, nothing brings me more joy than helping clients find healing and feel more at peace in their minds, bodies, relationships, and life circumstances.

In Genesis 6-8, there was a great flood. The earth was covered with water and it seemed like all hope was lost. But then Noah sent out a dove to search for new life. That dove returned with an olive branch. That olive branch signified rebirth, new hope, new life. This is why I named my practice, Olive Branch Therapy. To remind you that there is an olive branch in your future. There is hope for you. Hope in your pain, hope in your struggle. I will hold out this hope for you until you can grasp your own olive branch once again.

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.
