I get it... It's hard out here. In a world that demands more than it gives, it is imperative that one develops their voice to speak their truth and find their way to liberation and connection. It may feel impossible to find stability and security not only within your environment but also within yourself. As a clinician, my goal is to support you as you find empowerment, enact self-compassion, expand self- awareness, restore and improve relationships with self and others, and find inner security using an interpersonal/relational approach, psychotherapy, psycho-education. EMDR, and holistic interventions.

My ideal client is someone who makes that phone call to ask for help and is ready to begin clarifying goals to improve some aspect of their life. Issues that they may be facing include self-esteem issues, depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, lack of coping and communication skills, family dynamics, grief, etc. The most important thing for me to do to help my clients with all their needs is to provide a safe environment, build rapport with them by making them feel comfortable, and assisting them in prioritizing what they want to work on.

I understand that taking the first step towards therapy and opening up to someone new can be incredibly challenging. I like to make therapy fun and I use a lot of humor :) The clients I typically work with are struggling in their relationships, are Veterans/first responders, and may experience adjustment stress. I also work with couples/throuples/non-traditional relationships and am poly/kink-friendly. I served in the military and have deployed and I find that makes it easier for my Vets and their families to connect with me and vice versa.

My agency name, Inertia Counseling, is founded on the notion that if we are stuck emotionally, we tend to stay stuck emotionally unless we make a conscious effort to change. Like Newton's Law of Inertia, once we start our process of changing how we think and act, that change gathers momentum and we can really change our lives for the better. Get moving... Stay moving...

As a Black, professional woman, you’re tired of carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. The way others see it, you have a successful career and multiple achievements, but part of you feels misunderstood, unseen, and unheard. Past hurts linger and doubts whisper in your mind, making it hard for you to trust fully. You’re exhausted from pretending everything is okay. You long for a space where you can be yourself without being judged or feeling the need to perform. You yearn for deeper connections, but the fear of vulnerability, of getting hurt again, creates a wall around your heart, making it difficult to truly connect.

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.
