Whatever our starting place, it would be my honor to come alongside you, your child and your family to navigate towards your emotional, behavioral and relational goals.
I believe relationships shape our lives and our stories. They can be our greatest struggles, but also our greatest sources of meaning and joy. I work with children, as well as with caregivers, couples and families, to manage challenges, process trauma, develop coping skills, and, so importantly, find connection points.

To work through relational conflict or the pain of infidelity it is important to find a skilled couple's therapist who will provide you a safe and empathic environment along with the willingness to develop a team approach toward your intended goal.
I often hear: "If only we could communicate better, the simplest of discussions become arguments." "I had an affair, I was so stupid, can you help me to heal my relationship?" "My spouse had an affair, I am devastated, I don't know if I should leave or stay?" "I told my spouse everything and the affair is over, why can't we just move on?" If any of these quotes sound true for you, I want you to know that you can learn to reduce conflicts to rebuild trust and intimacy; you can heal and repair your relationship after regrettable incidents, infidelities/affairs.

I enjoy working with people who wish there was something different about their life; people who feel stuck. I believe that we're all born with innate wisdom that knows what to do next but oftentimes, that quiet knowing can get lost in the noise of life. My goal is to facilitate a space where we can learn how you can access your intuition so you can make decisions to move out of that "stuck" place and begin to create relationships that you feel not only fulfilled by but proud of.

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.
