I treat a wide variety of issues including depression, mood disorders, relationship difficulties, adjustment challenges and life transitions. I entered into the field of counseling in order to enrich the daily lives of people, to help them develop more satisfying interpersonal relationships, assist them with the obstacles they face in life, and guide them toward making the changes they desire to accomplish their goals. I have diversified experience, working with people of all ages, from a variety of backgrounds and I currently treat a broad population of clients across the lifespan.

I am currently serving as a University Counseling Therapist in the University Counseling Program at Pillars of Wellness. I love working with teenagers and young adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, mood disorder, coping skills, and/or transitions. They need a caring adult in their lives to listen without judgement, help them organize their thoughts and feelings, and set goals. I strive to be the person I needed when I was younger, and to provide excellent care to clients.

There are so many reasons to seek therapy, from feeling stuck, hopeless, anxious, having difficulty making decisions or managing stress, relationship issues, addictions, childhood trauma....the list goes on and on.  Sometimes it is simply knowing you are capable of more than you are able to be at the moment.  My aim is to provide a structured, safe space for you to explore what is getting in the way of you being the person you want to be and living the life you want to live. I will work with you to identify the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that are getting in the way of living a life that aligns with your values and goals.

The pressure to succeed, need to “keep up,” fear of missing out and desire for good relationships and work satisfaction can all evoke strong emotions. However, society teaches how to block and avoid them. We do it quite well: alcohol use, drug use, screen time...there are a multitude of ways to avoid our feelings. When we do acknowledge them, we swat them away with mantras learned since childhood (“Mind over matter,” “get over it” and “suck it up”). Thwarting emotions is not good for mental or physical health and emotional avoidance comes at a cost.

Plenty of people can survive a loveless life. 
That’s because humans can satisfy their physical needs (food, shelter, resources) without a personal connection to love.
 Survival is one thing, and it’s not nothing! But if survival was everything, a lot more of us would feel happy, secure, and fulfilled…
 instead of fearful, empty, and lonely.
 Behind closed doors, so many "high-functioning" people are struggling with depression, anxiety, dysfunctional relationships — and of course, addiction.

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.
