Colorado Springs, CO 80923
As a counselor, I seek to create an environment where people feel safe, heard, valued, and honored. My style is very relational, collaborative, encouraging, and empowering using evidence-based models of therapeutic care. I feel that people can bring their frustrations, anger, fears, sadness, anxiety, ambivalence, and dissatisfaction into the counseling process. Throughout my 25 year career, I have been so fortunate to walk thousands of people through painful circumstances to experience necessary hope and healing in life.

You feel like you’ve grown apart. It’s almost like you’re living two separate lives - and you used to be so close. Now you argue about the same things over and over again. It's so hard to communicate. It seems like you can’t ever get this person you fell in love with to hear you anymore. You never expected to feel so much pain when you first fell in love. But, you do. And you don’t want to feel it anymore. Neither of you do. You both know something has to change. And you cant wait anymore. It's time to do something.

Feeling like you just can’t do it anymore? You and your partner are caught in the cycle of chasing or backing away. We all get caught in our cycles within our relationships. And sometimes we are so caught in the havoc that we just don’t know what to do anymore to make things better. We begin to feel hopeless and don’t seem to find the right words without getting into another fight. The round and round never seems to stop. We all need our partners to be accessible to us, responsive to our needs, and engaged with us. We all need to know the answer to ‘Are you there for me?’ The answer may confirm our worst fears.

The relationships in our lives are often the most important thing to us and when they aren't going well it's easy to feel stuck. Stuck fighting over the same things, stuck feeling like your needs aren't being met, and stuck feeling lonely and depressed. This can leave us feeling overwhelmed and longing for connection. When life and our relationships get difficult to manage that's when therapy can help.

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.
