My approach is relaxed and individualized and I like to use humor where appropriate. I love working with women who may look like they have their shit together from a distance, but behind the mask they wear for others, they are filled with self-doubt, worry, and are chronic over-thinkers. They have this nagging feeling that they're not good enough and too often compare themselves to the people around them. They're not great with personal boundaries and would rather disappoint themselves than o...

Since then, relational psychotherapy has expanded, growing to become a widely used theoretical...
