I encourage my clients to comfortably explore their challenges and develop effective strategies centered around relational needs and values.
Relationships are what humans were created for and can be extremely life-giving. However, sometimes we go through hardships that may create distance or unhealthy behavior patterns in these relationships. As a counselor and former educator using a holistic approach, I take into consideration the unique needs and strengths of each individual I work with. I strive to create a non-judgemental space where clients feel heard and understood. By utilizing evidence-based techniques, I assist clients in identifying patterns, gaining self-awareness and developing practical tools to overcome obstacles.

In addressing emotional injury resulting from trauma, I consider the impact of thoughts, attitudes, behaviors and deeply-entrenched personality characteristics and habits that may be causing repeated personal and relational difficulties.
Life challenges can be complex, oppressive and limiting. Circumstances can stack and compound to birth seemingly insurmountable difficulties. No matter your experience, it's never too late or beyond hope. Upon entering therapy, you will be assured of a safe, non-judgmental, compassionate, genuine and realistic environment. We will ease your distress through use of effective research-supported interventions, addressing perplexities and hardships impacting your mind, body and spirit. Targeting past, present and future adversities, we will work to actualize healthy self-esteem and life wholeness, hope, meaning, purpose and freedom.

My counseling philosophy is based on the belief that we all want/need to feel accepted for who we are in order to accept and integrate the various parts of ourselves. I draw from various therapy methods, throughout the process, depending on the individual client's needs. It is my goal to provide a safe space, free of judgment or criticism, in which clients feel comfortable exposing and exploring their innermost thoughts and feelings. I view the counseling process as a collaborative effort between client and counselor and believe it is most successful when both parties are fully committed.

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.
