I believe much of what we struggle with is the result of a relational dis-ease, disconnection, and dis-integration of our thoughts, feelings, behaviors.
My passion is helping people build healthy and meaningful lives. I am a Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist trained by Dr. Patrick Carnes, the pioneer in the field of sex addiction. I have extensive experience working with individuals struggling with all forms of addictions and compulsive behaviors including: sex, pornography, drugs, alcohol, food, work, spending, codependent relationships, etc. I use Attachment-Focused EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and Lifespan Integration to help people become free from underlying relational/attachment wounds.

The one thing we share is the universal need to be heard without judgment or fear of shaming. The truth is, we have all been there, sometimes lost, sometimes angry, on top of the world then disillusioned. As much as we love our family and friends, sometimes they understand us the least.

Waitlist for new clients
It’s the middle of a normal day and suddenly your chest tightens, your heart is racing, your palms get clammy, and you can’t focus. You realize what’s happening but nothing you’ve tried so far seems to help. You fall further behind in your responsibilities, you stop socializing, and you start to have anxiety about the possibility of having anxiety. The more you try to avoid situations that cause this, the more overwhelmed you become. It starts to feel like no matter what you do it’s not enough and you’re never going to be able to relax.

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.
