I offer client-centered psychotherapy where I incorporate psychodynamic, CBT, and humanistic therapy in catering to your unique needs.
Have you lost interest in activities that used to bring you joy? Do you lack motivation to meet your responsibilities? Do you feel overwhelmed with life's tasks and worry incessantly about the future? Have you had trouble falling or staying asleep due to overthinking? Do you tense up in social situations? If you responded yes to any of the above you are likely experiencing depression and anxiety symptoms. These can be very painful and unfortunately are very common. Avoiding or ignoring these feelings will not make them go away but together we can face them and launch you on a journey to optimal mental health.

Perhaps you have been doing your best to work through personal problems or issues and are still feeling blocked. Traditional counseling may be able to help you recognize your patterns, not necessarily resolve them. Sometimes it is helpful to work with someone who can provide insight, helping to move energy so that you can make a positive shift in your life. I can help you on your journey simply because I've been there. I would be grateful to have the opportunity to help you to understand how you too can learn to embrace your own journey moving forward with confidence and purpose.

Humanistic Therapists

How does humanistic therapy work?

One tenet of humanistic therapy is that people are good. The humanistic approach is concerned with a person’s ability to accept oneself. It likewise encourages a person to overcome self-criticism and self-defeating tendencies, as well as disapproval from others. This approach also emphasizes self-actualization and treating an individual as a whole person. A foundation of this therapy type: The patient is the expert in their life, and treatment often takes the individual’s lead.

Is humanistic therapy evidence-based?

Humanistic therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has found that humanistic therapy can lead to significant improvement, and for some people it can be just as effective as other therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy. The benefits of humanistic therapy are enduring.

How long does humanistic therapy last?

The goal of humanistic therapy is to understand a person’s day-to-day experiences. While sessions can be short-term and last over a few months, therapy can sometimes continue beyond that and last up to a year or more. And because patients learn the theory behind humanistic therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.

Is humanistic therapy effective?

According to research, many patients find success with humanistic therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in addressing poor self-esteem and self-sabotage, as well as improving conditions including anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can be long standing, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve learned during treatment.
