An ideal client is someone who is dedicated to putting in the work necessary to facilitate lasting changes in their lives. Clients embark on a therapeutic journey that leads them to a deeper, richer, more secure and more grounded relationship with themselves. Once clients are able to attain feelings of authenticity and peacefulness within themselves, they are in a far better position to enrich and enhance the lives of people around them. I partner with my clients, no matter where they are when they start this journey, and I am at their side every step of the way.

Panama City, FL 32404 (Online Only)
I generally work with people struggling with common mental health issues like anxiety, depression, interpersonal challenges, self esteem, trauma and life transitions.
Therapy is hard to explain and better to be experienced. It can be scary to take the first step or maybe you've been to a therapist and just didn't click. But when you find a good fit and feel truly seen, heard and understood, deep healing and shifts can occur. My job is to be your guide on this journey, to first and foremost, help you feel safe enough to show up as your full self. Topics and themes will present themselves and by using practical tools and doing deeper work, real change can occur. I love what I do and feel honored and privileged to do this work.

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.
