Relational support is often vital.
(Note: Formerly Wolf-Stanton Psychotherapy) We all experience some sort of pain, stress, trauma, or adversity in our personal lives and relationships. When our hearts ache, we search for ways to cope. These initial ways of coping often are adaptive in the short term. However, in the longer term, these same coping strategies may hinder further growth and healing. You and I can work together without judgment to dismantle painful experiences and cultivate a strong, empowered, and healthy core sense of self. You can realize your full potential and mobilize into healthy and constructive patterns of thought, behavior, and emotion.

My therapy style is primarily relational and interpersonal.
Do you feel overwhelming pain? Do you have grief that is hard to express? Have you noticed yourself reacting to situations instead of responding to them? Are you navigating challenging relationships? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, I’m here to help. With my support, you can learn how to process pain, express grief, find meaning and joy, understand how your past affects your present, and nourish your relationships with healthy boundaries. After working with me, you'll see the hard and painful parts of your life as chapters rather than the defining theme of your story.

After years of training and experience in psychology, medical art therapy, and social work, I now focus on adjusting to cancer experiences, coping with grief and loss, trauma, complex relational issues and end of life conversations.
A cancer diagnosis is life-changing. It disrupts so many things about our everyday lives. And the stress can be overwhelming for even the most resilient among us. People coping with cancer often experience heightened levels of fear, worry, pain and uncertainty. As the founder of River Birch Therapy, I help children, teens, adults and families coping with cancer to build a life and thrive beyond cancer. During sessions, I work from a whole-person, strengths-based, relational and embodied approach to health.

I'm well-versed in IFS, Intergenerational, Relational & Trauma therapies.
Taking care of your mental health is one of the most compassionate things you can do. Expected, even positive life transitions tend to cause some level of stress and resistance. Those stressors can force us to operate in extreme ways causing experiences of fear or uncertainty, dissatisfaction in relationships, or an erratic relationship with food. Most clients I see are high achievers, perfectionists or people pleasers; To the average eye, they appear as though they have everything yet, they are struggling inside. These are people seeking change but are often fearful of what that will entail or where to start.

My approach is relational, psychodynamic, and DBT-informed.
Many of us have times in our lives when we get overwhelmed. And despite our best efforts to cope, we can end up feeling unhappy, lost, and alone. Perhaps you are going through something right now - a relationship conflict, a big life transition, struggling at work or in school, dealing with grief or long-standing struggles with family, identity, self-esteem, anxiety or depression. Perhaps you are dealing with a physical health issue that is impacting your emotional and mental well-being. It’s helpful at times like these to have someone there to listen and help you sort things out.

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.
