Are you struggling through a life transition? Perhaps a graduation, relationship change, or an empty nest, and wondering, what's next? Are you or your family recreating the same patterns of relating, and want to break out of those patterns? I enjoy helping those with mental health diagnosis, like ADHD, depression, PTSD, or anxiety. I also love working with emerging adults and those from other cultures, including "TCKs." I offer individual, couple, and family therapy in East Wichita, as well as tele-therapy for anyone living in Kansas.

I believe that all families, couples, and individuals can be empowered to make change. Finding the therapist that understands how you are experiencing life is often anxiety provoking. Change is difficult, especially when people feel judged or shamed. I value the relationship I have with my clients. I work hard to make sure that every Client's story is taken seriously and heard, regardless of the situation.

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.
