I am an Adlerian therapist in orientation, following precepts developed by Alfred Adler in the early 20th century and further defined and enriched by theorists and clinicians to the present day.
As a licensed professional counselor in practice for almost a decade, I am trained and qualified to treat individuals dealing with most mental health and emotional disorders, but I specialize in anxiety and related difficulties, such as depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder. I am a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (Cert. no. 902544). I have worked extensively with adolescents and adults dealing with the traumatic aftermath of emotionally and physically abusive family environments. I also work with a good number of artists, musicians and other creative types.

I am committed to helping my clients achieve their goals. I believe that counseling can promote a lifestyle that results in physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. I focus on the client as a whole individual, rather than a disorder, and encourage healthy behaviors across various aspects of life. I conceptualize individuals and form treatment plans tailored to each client's unique characteristics, strengths, values, and needs. I work diligently to create a safe, empathic, and supportive environment for my clients.

You’re feeling stuck, you're feeling overwhelmed, you're out of options. Readjusting to life after a traumatizing experience makes some aspects of your life feel like they are out of control. When trauma strikes it can feel like you don’t know where to turn. You’re impatient with yourself and are feeling shame and guilt for allowing these emotions to take charge. People you have always relied on for safety, may no longer know what it is you need to get well. You’ve heard “get over it” and you want to, but it's just not that easy. You know what you’re experiencing is real but it’s hard to understand why you’re feeling this way.

My client comes to me questioning who they are (identity problems) and having problems functioning in life and especially relationships. They have usually experienced trauma and abuse as children and are seeking to break maladaptive coping habits that are causing them pain. My joy is to help them alleviate their anxiety, depression and alienation while supporting them in discovering who they were created to be. They find hope and self mastery in discovering their realistic best self

In therapy, I enjoy helping kids and adults try a new approach of care and healing that targets both emotional processing and regulating the nervous system. I partner with parents to help their child improve anxiety, process life transitions, and overcome various behavioral issues. With adults, I help with trauma healing, anxiety, and relational roadblocks such as people-pleasing, social anxiety and codependency. Other areas I focus on include family of origin issues, OCD, and abuse recovery. I've also had the unique opportunity to help families find their new normal after life-altering tragedies.

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.
