We all get stuck at times. Reaching out for help can be the first step towards positive change. Recognizing dissatisfaction with an aspect of your life, or that solutions you've tried are not working, creates opportunity to allow in other perspectives. Problems can feel immense, and grow in isolation; conversely, talking with a therapist can shed light, open up unseen possibilities and diminish problems. Whether you're struggling with relationship or work struggles, identity issues, life transitions, depression, anxiety, or other life issues, therapy can help you build more meaning, balance, and ability to handle life's challenges.

I am interested in approaching our work together from a relational and liberatory perspective that challenges oppressive power structures.
After obtaining a degree in Environmental Policy, I worked in sustainable, off-grid housing, where I gained a better understanding of social isolation and the need for connection and community building. This inspired me to pursue an MSW from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College, where I graduated with a specialization in Gender and Sexuality. I have since worked primarily with LGBTQIA+ adults, youth, and their families.

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.
