I support clients with a holistic approach blending Adlerian theory for understanding life goals and relationships and yoga philosophy for mindfulness and emotional resilience.
You may be seeking therapy to untangle deep-seated emotions rooted in past experiences and understand how these experiences affect current relationship dynamics and personal growth- exploring trauma that you have endured. Maybe you are currently unpacking feelings of grief. The goal is clarity: Resolving emotional conflicts, healing past wounds, and developing healthier, more fulfilling connections. By exploring your past and present relationships, we will aim to cultivate self-awareness, emotional resilience, and achieve profound personal growth toward a more balanced and authentic life.

I am a certified Adlerian psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience.
Is your "to-do" list never-ending, and accomplishments never good enough? Are you overwhelmed by tasks and feel your worth depends on how much you get done? If anxiety is always at your heels, you may be struggling with perfectionism. Negative self-image- constantly comparing yourself to others, or feeling like a burden are some symptoms of perfectionism. These feelings often stem from deep-seated shame. Anxiety shows up in many different forms but usually feels like racing thoughts, racing heart, and restlessness making it hard to unwind. Guilt and shame, especially rooted in trauma, can distort your sense of self and reality.

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.
