I specialize in working with individuals living with challenges related to trauma, grief, separation and loss, as well as sensitive sexual and relational issues. I use a great deal of sensory-integration and brain-based approaches providing a non-threatening, safe, and inviting relationship with which to share some pretty "scary" stuff. I help individuals improve their relationships with themselves and others, while feeling safer, feeling better about themselves, and feeling empowered in their own voice and actions.

I believe people are understandable and once we reach understanding, solutions seem evident. If you have sought help before and just didn't feel you got to the bottom of the problems or if you are new to therapy and really want deeper solutions I can help you. Psychotherapy is the science and art of clinical work. We will collaborate: you being the authority of your life, and me the authority of psychology and human emotion.

Sometimes life can be painful. When depression, anxiety, grief and loss or stress from a traumatic event interfere with your ability to function at your best, feelings of hopelessness and helplessness increase and self confidence all but disappears. This is when anger, fear, sadness and despair take a toll not only on you but on the relationships with those you love. I can help you examine these difficult feelings in a safe, non judgmental environment. As new ways of thinking and communicating are learned and practiced, your life and your relationships will be deepened and enriched.

I have received additional specialty training in the treatment of trauma-related disorders and sexual functioning. In therapy, I attempt to bring my knowledge of research-based interventions to best collaborate with clients in a way that meets their individual needs. In therapy, clients are seen as equals and are given a voice in the direction of their care. I currently have a waitlist for potential new clients. Please email me if you feel I would be a particular fit for your needs.

We all need support, life brings planed and unexpected change, transitions and requited growth. My clients may feel the pressure of perfectionism, feeling not-good-enough or second guessing themselves, feeling stuck in life. They may have physical or emotional pain and a big stress overload. Often feeling pulled in too many directions, with too many responsibilities, caring for too many projects or people. They can feel lost or adrift, that life is not progressing or as meaningful or happy as they had hoped. Grief & loss build up & worry about the ability to change can immobilize so they often feel stuck & afraid in life.

Life offers us challenges and opportunities. Often courage emerges when we reach out for help when life seems overwhelming. I offer my clients a safe space to explore their emotions, relationships, and goals. In my practice, I partner with my clients as they discover insights, access the power of hope, and explore their vulnerability. I work to develop a trusting non-judgmental relationship that allows clients the space to uncover insights that lead to growth and resilience.

"There was a dawn remembered when my soul heard something from your soul" - Rumi - The therapuetic encounter allows for the kind of "dawning" which Rumi alludes to. Who am I at my truest being? What lessons am I meant to learn in this lifetime? What gifts do I bring to this world? What is the greater good I want to serve? Each human journey is a mysterious and beautiful evolution of understanding who we are and why we are here. We often lose sight of our inner beauty and goodness due to what seems like life's betrayals, rejections and overwhelming challenges.

It is my intention to create a safe place for healing, self-exploration, and transformation. I offer compassionate presence and deep listening as we work together through life's difficulties and challenges. I believe people are doing the best they can yet wish to find more accepting and meaningful approaches to healing and growing. Treatment is tailored to help individuals see their true selves more clearly and to identify workable methods to reach their life goals. The therapy relationship can be healing by providing understanding of how early experiences affect patterns of thinking, feeling, relating, and by creating new experiences of self and relationship.

Interpersonal Therapists
Is interpersonal therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found interpersonal therapy to be effective for life transitions including retirement, divorce, and job loss. Also, some studies have found it to be just as useful as medication and other therapy approaches. The benefits of interpersonal therapy can last long after treatment has been completed; the individual can use the tenets of this therapy throughout their life.
How long does interpersonal therapy take?
Interpersonal psychotherapy is normally time-limited and focuses on specific problems in the client’s everyday relationships. Treatment can be either one-on-one or take place in a group setting; it tends to last 12 to 16 weeks, depending on the individual client’s needs. If a new interpersonal problem arises in the future, the client may require additional therapy to address it specifically. The timeline and session schedule may vary depending on the client’s challenges as well as their progress. Treatment may conclude with wrap-up sessions to review the client’s accomplishments.
Is interpersonal therapy effective?
Research shows that interpersonal therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of conditions such as depression or anxiety. The approach may also offer a range of benefits that are hard to measure but valuable—including healthier relationships and improved feelings of self-worth. The therapist will give the client practical solutions that can be put into practice. The brief duration of this therapy also means that clients can see changes in their relationships fairly quickly.
What are the limitations of interpersonal therapy?
Interpersonal therapy may not effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as psychosis, chronic illness, or alcohol relapse. Because it is short-term in nature, it may not be the best approach for conditions that need to be tracked, though maintenance sessions are a viable approach under these circumstances.
Can interpersonal psychotherapy be done online?
Yes, interpersonal psychotherapy can be conducted effectively either in-person or online. A therapist with expertise in IPT will be able to adjust their techniques, such as role-playing, to better suit the online environment. Offering online IPT can make it more accessible for clients who have transportation difficulties; it also provides the ideal opportunity to explore challenges unique to digital relationships.
