I am not a normal therapist. I am told that I am gifted at being very intuitive and perceptive so I catch on in a hurry and tend to give a lot of feedback rather than "uh huh and how do you feel about that?' .I am able to break things down into easy to understand language so clients better comprehend their personal issues and ways to heal and to better manage their lives.This is communicated with warmth,compassion,and a sense of humor.I am very active with my clients.

One of the greatest aspect of therapy is that it helps you to grow - grow in the way you feel, grow in how you behave, grow in the way you understand yourself. The therapeutic relationship can be a vital tool for enacting the change that leads to your own growth as a human. I offer an empathetic and safe space for you to openly explore and bring to the light things that may be easier to leave in the dark. We are all unique in our experiences in this life, but the emotions left over from those experiences can be universally felt and understood. Growth and understanding are without a doubt a possibility. It only begins with you.

Please Stop Talking! Have you thought this about your past therapist? Have you wondered how they could try and help you when they did not stop long enough to get to know you? As a Clinical Psychologist in practice for 30 years, I have heard this complaint more than any other among my patients whom have previously been in psychotherapy. In my clinical practice I respect the patient as the expert on themselves and will work with you to bring out the insight, esteem, knowledge and coping strategies you had inside or were open to learning about.

Throughout our existence, we all move through times that can bring an enormous amount of sadness, anxiety and disturbance. Perhaps the days add up, and we end up living much of our lives in this suffering. If we hold on and search, it is that deep self inside, the one just beneath the everyday routine, who can not only find the motivation to talk about these pains, but the inspiration to transform them into healing, meaning and purpose. When we take the lens and zoom in, every single one of us can find passion and vision. Joy and strength.

Are you stuck on a hamster wheel? Feeling like you can't get off? We often get trapped in faulty mindsets that limit our perspectives and impair our ability to thrive. But maintaining those mindsets is a choice. Contrary to popular belief, maintaining the status quo - not therapy - is the easy way out. Healing is possible and achievable, but only if you are willing to bring your hurts, longings and dreams to the light.

My initial training was as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, but I have realized that there is no single therapeutic approach that works for everyone and my approach has evolved into an eclectic one that includes elements of psychoanalytic, interpersonal, cognitive behavioral and humanistic psychology.
There's nothing mysterious about psychotherapy. We've all benefitted from talking things over with friends, a spouse, our parents, our siblings, our family doctor or our priest, minister or rabbi. The fundamental principal of psychotherapy is rooted in our shared human experience: it helps to talk with someone. As a trained observer and listener with forty years of experience I will hear you and will work with you to help identify more fully the issues that trouble you. We will seek further insight together and attempt to identify meaningful solutions.

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.
