Not accepting new clients
My strong Adlerian theoretical approach guides me in helping clients explore biological, psychological, social and spiritual obstacles that may be 'keeping them struck', preventing them from healthy problem solving and living the quality of life they dream and deserve.
Today's world is complex, demanding and ever-changing!! I strongly believe it takes courage to ask for support to manage thoughts, feelings and behaviors that may be obstacles in one's life. With 15 years experience in diverse clinical settings including Private Group Practice, Community Mental Health, Partial Hospitalization/Intensive Outpatient Program, Inpatient Behavioral Health and Residential Substance Abuse Treatment, I have had the privilege of helping children, adolescents and adults work through obstacles including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, substance abuse/addiction, eating disorders, grief and loss, trauma and life transitions. .

Adlerian Therapists
How does Adlerian psychology work?
In the framework of Adlerian therapy, people are motivated by a sense of belonging and community, which drives them to surmount feelings of inferiority so as to contribute to their society; fulfilling these desires can help people flourish. Adlerian therapy proceeds in four stages—engagement, assessment, insight, and reorientation—in an overall effort to understand the client’s past and to achieve their present-day humanistic goals.
Is Adlerian therapy humanistic?
Yes, Adlerian psychology is humanistic; it focuses on the whole person, emphasizes their strengths rather than just their symptoms, and centers them in determining how they can grow and flourish. This school of thought informed the work of Abraham Maslow, who went on to develop humanistic psychology.
How long does Adlerian therapy take?
Adlerian therapy is a short-term, goal-oriented form of therapy that takes around 15 to 20 weekly sessions. Of course, some people may be in therapy for a shorter or longer time frame; length depends on the individual and the problem or condition they wish to treat. Clients can ask their therapist about the timeline for treatment before they begin and check in periodically to ensure that they’re on the same page in terms of progress.
Is Adlerian therapy evidence based?
There is not as much evidence to support the effectiveness of Adlerian therapy as there is for other types of therapy such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. But Adlerian therapy may be the right therapy for some people—whether they’re seeking to treat mental disorders or achieve self-growth—especially those looking for a holistic approach that emphasizes relationships, community, self-worth, and purpose.
