My work with you will first identify how you relate to yourself and others, and then explore how you created your relational template for intimate relationships.
I have a specialized interest in the treatment and recovery process of those suffering from relational trauma (complex-trauma) that often begins with the family of origin and continues to appear in adult relationships in the form of codependency, love addiction/avoidance, infidelity, betrayal/trauma bonds, attachment disorders and generational trauma. I am certified in Relational Life Therapy (RLT) and trained in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Post-Induction Therapy (Pia Mellody's PIT) and Eye-Movement-Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). I am also very much a proponent of the late John Bradshaw (Healing the Shame That Binds You).

Your life just isn’t what you expected or going how you want right now—it seems out of your control. You’re doing so much and it’s still not enough—putting on that brave face every day to show up to the grind. You should be more accomplished and feel more fulfilled, but instead, you’re struggling to find your place in the world. It seems like other people don’t get it, and you find yourself in repeated conflict with the ones you care about most. You can imagine how it could be different sometimes, but your self-critic is working on overdrive to stir up doubt and worries about the future. And you’re tired of it... probably exhausted.

My approach to therapy is rooted in the Relational-Cultural Theory belief that connection is fundamental to our mental health and that growth-fostering relationships are a source of meaning and empowerment.
In the face of trauma, grief, substance abuse and mental health challenges we can find ourselves weighed down, overwhelmed, hopeless, disconnected and uprooted. My hope in providing therapy support is to walk through those challenges with you and collaborate with you on your journey towards healing, exploration, empowerment, growth and rediscovering your roots.

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.
