I utilize a mix of experiential techniques, along with person-centered, Gestalt, emotion-focused and relational lenses such as Attachment theory to guide my sessions and treatment process.
I view therapy from a holistic lens, encouraging clients to explore their holistic self (mental, spiritual, sexual, physical, etc.) and how those various pieces impact our view of self, the world, and our lived experiences. Finding meaning in experiences, as well as curating curiosity and compassion towards the self are inherent to my therapeutic process. To summarize my approach to treatment from Carl Rogers: "A person is a fluid process, not a fixed & static entity; a flowing river of change, not a block of solid material; a continually changing constellation of potentialities, not a fixed quantity of traits."

With more than 20 years of experience, I focus on relational issues as well as everyday struggles.
Are you feeling stressed, anxious, irritable, or disillusioned? Life can be challenging, confusing, and painful, but it can also be full of meaning, satisfaction, and joy. My belief is that our deepest emotional wounds can also lead to our greatest inner growth: “Life doesn’t happen to us, it happens for us.” Whether you need support with a strained relationship, trauma, physical pain, self-esteem, divorce, illness, personal loss, or are suffering but unsure of how to cope, I will be honored to accompany you on your personal journey and will strive to develop a relaxed atmosphere of mutual trust.

I believe the root of the therapeutic process lies within the relationship not only between the client and their counselor, but the relationship to one's self. One of my favorite quotes by Yogi Bhajan reads "You are very powerful, provided you know how powerful you are." It is also a passion of mine to guide clients to create meaning.

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.
