I'm trained in Relational Life Therapy, Gottman Couples Method, & a student with Sexual Health Alliance on the Certified Couples & Sex Therapy track.
I offer relationship and sex therapy with a specialized focus on young couples in their 20s-40s, including high conflict couples. Young couples are faced with the challenge of rediscovering identities through life transitions while also trying to be the person your partner needs. I work with these couples together and as individuals to discover their values, needs, and desires individually and in the relationship. I also work with adult individuals struggling to maintain healthy relationships rooted in childhood trauma or dysfunction within their family of origin.

Taking that first step is not always easy, but I truly believe the work and vulnerability that individuals put into therapy is reflected in their personal and relational growth.
Mental healthcare is the most valuable gift a person can give themselves or a loved one. A decade of work as an educator and school counselor has given me experience supporting children, adolescents, and families through life's challenges. No one is immune from change and you deserve a source of empathy and compassion to help you process what's passed and look forward to new possibilities.

One of the hardest things as a father is to watch my children go through difficult things and at times feel completely helpless. As they navigate life and the challenges this cna bring I find a deeper appreciation for the allies in our lives that can support them and us (mom and me) along this journey. Additionally, the more we focus on their needs it is equally a challenge to remember that there is an "US" in our marriage that exists and we have to nurture it with the same drive and care. It can be a lot, at WLP we seek to walk alongside Families, Couples and individuals seeking support through life's challenges.

With the help of a strong therapeutic relationship and appropriate interventions, I believe individuals can learn more about themselves through exploring past and present life occurrences.

Currently accepting new clients. I specialize in helping people think about how to improve their relationships, their emotional health and their lives. People often call because they are needing someone to think with them during a difficult season of life. They may notice unhealthy relationship patterns (disconnection, conflict, severed relationships), they may be struggling with a particular transition (transitioning to adulthood, parenting, loss), or they may be struggling to cope with some intense feelings (grief, sadness, anxiety). I would be happy to help you think about how you would like to meet the challenges you are facing.

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.
