Waitlist for new clients
I am a non-binary Latine therapist, and I help clients by using humanistic/strengths-based and Eastern philosophies along with their interests.
I am proud to work with clients whose brains are different, whose ways of looking at and interacting with the world are unique, and who are looking to untangle their authentic selves from the mask society pushed them to wear, learn to love/accept themselves as they are, and use this radical self-love to make the changes they want to see. Creative, brave, bold, spicy, innovative, intelligent, justice-oriented - these are the traits that were already there inside those wonderful human beings I serve, and one way or another the world tried to bury them. But the world didn't know they were seeds.

People sometimes have traumatic events in their life; spending years trying to ‘get over’ the event without being able to process the trauma. Trauma impacts a person’s life and their ability to heal. I work with adults who want to address the trauma and its effects. They want to change the feelings of inadequacy, poor self esteem and of course depression. Trauma effects can manifest in different beliefs about ourselves. Changing those beliefs is a beginning to changing our relationship with ourselves. I find partnering with individuals who want to work on creating a more fulfilling future for themselves is humbling.

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.
