Many of my clients are experiencing issues related to anxiety, ADHD, depression, relational distress, and adjustment to life changes.
Do you desire a deeper connection with your partner, your family, or yourself? I believe that the various relationships and experiences in our lives have a powerful impact on who we are and how we experience the world. As a qualified mental health professional and clinical social worker, I work with individual adults and adolescents, as well as families and couples in need of support. My approach to therapy is warm, accepting, and empathetic, and involves working as a team with my clients to identify their strengths, overcome challenges, and improve their quality of life.

It is common for us to struggle to cope with life’s stressors and feel as if we have little control over anxiety, depression, anger, unhelpful thoughts, unhealthy behaviors, and more. This often leads to feeling detached and disconnected in many ways. You may seek to learn ways to improve your sense of self and relationships, as well as bring you closer to what gives you meaning and purpose. This can include enhancing self-awareness, processing difficult experiences and emotions, and/or developing secure connections with others. In doing so, you can feel stronger and safer, and experience more fully what you value in your life.

Talking with a professional in an open, respectful atmosphere can help you gain insight and perspective about issues in your life that may seem overwhelming, depressing, or even hopeless. Sometimes these feelings are triggered by something unfortunate that has happened to you recently... such as the loss of a relationship, a crisis at work, a relocation, a traumatic experience, or the death of a loved one. Other times, the issues seem to be part of a bigger picture of unhappiness, anxiety, or failure that has been around for awhile leaving you frustrated and confused.

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.
