As we age, so do our bodies and with that comes changes in hormone function and other physiological changes that can (and do) impact our sex drive and overall sexual functioning and satisfaction. On top of the physiological changes are the multiple stressors we are faced with daily. Life is busy and stressful and let’s face it, we are exhausted by the end of the day. Let's work together to address the obstacles that keep you from feeling fulfilled in your sexual experiences.

All people have THAT moment. The big one, where we question if we are with the right person. We find ourselves loving someone, but falling into a pattern that we can't find our way out of. Communication, betrayals, falling out of sync, the fights that lead nowhere, someone shutting down, lack of emotional or physical intimacy, or not seeing eye to eye on important issues are all reasons people can benefit from an intensive look into their relationship. You want your person to be "your" person again. To love openly with affection, but also with the ability to resolve conflicts is what I wish for each couple I work with.

I specialize in working with individuals struggling with symptoms stemming from anxiety, trauma, life transitions and self esteem difficulties. No one should feel that they need to “push through” irritability, fatigue, distraction, sadness, anxiousness, shame or difficulty with staying present in their day to day life. Therapy will support you with the insight needed to not only heal, but to also thrive outside of therapy in the longterm. I believe when given the opportunity, we have the power to heal, thrive, and therapy can provide the support to do so.

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.
