As a seasoned licensed psychologist, I specialize in humanistic therapy, which encourages self-exploration, self-awareness, and self-acceptance. This therapy involves empathic listening, unconditional positive regard, and a non-judgmental atmosphere to help patients gain insight it into their feelings, behaviors, and experiences. I work with individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, a sense of alienation, trauma aftermath, and couples' dissatisfaction. My mission is to alleviate needless suffering and guide you towards embracing your true self, fostering personal growth and relationship fulfillment.
Commonly today therapists teach people to develop ways of coping with painful feelings. But if we don't get in touch with the aspects of ourselves that we're coping with we just feel better for awhile without changing why we're like that. I want to help you to understand and respect yourself, treating these feelings...and living more enriching lives.
Throughout my career I've had the good fortune to consistently work with a wonderful group of people who, sadly, didn't appreciate themselves. In their suffering they were robbed of a fuller, more joyous life. Fortunately, I've helped people feel safe enough to resolve aspects of their pain to find contentment, meaning and joy in their lives.

Of course patients come to see me because of feelings of distress that they cannot control. But I don't want to people to just suffer less. I want them to get more out of life. It is a matter of self-actualizing where the person isn't just reducing their distress but they feel more engaged with themselves, their lives, and the people that they want to feel more deeply connected with.

While a humanistic approach is an in-depth one that helps us get to the heart of whatever troubles you, it's important to recognize that intellectual issues are not why people seek therapy. I want us to explore the issues that get in the way of who you are on a deeper level so you don't just feel less stressed but that you feel more engaged with yourself and others.
