I take a very humanistic approach to psychotherapy, helping the client to gain the self-awareness needed to free themselves from debilitating thoughts, assumptions and negative self-talk, so they can lead happier, more fulfilling lives.
I am a NYS Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I specialize in treating clients who suffer from anxiety and depression, primarily brought on by daily life events. Many people just need someone to listen to them who isn’t going to judge them. Clients need that safe space with that support. They need a place to be transparent and to be able to discuss things they aren’t ordinarily comfortable discussing.

With extensive history working with people with mood disorders such as anxiety and depression, as well as substance use, I’ve primarily used a humanistic/person-centered approach along with cognitive behavioral therapy to bring out the best in others.
Life can be overwhelming. Does a feeling of sadness, hopelessness, or panic sneak into your day or even your week sometimes? Do you need help to kick that habit you’ve been wanting to change? It can be tough to cope with things when they are too much to bear and self-sufficient skills that used to be helpful, aren’t doing what they used to. Sometimes our relationships become complicated and begin to be difficult to navigate and we need assistance doing so. If you have thought or felt any of these things, and it sounds like what you are going through, reach out at your earliest convenience to see if therapy with me is right for you.

“Am I capable of overcoming this?” is a question those struggling with anxiety or grief may ask. You feel exhausted from carrying the weight of the world and cannot pull yourself out of the gravitational pull of habits, coping skills, or relationships that add more weight. If struggling with anxiety, this may be a familiar dance you wish to stop, or if dealing with grief related to the loss of a loved one, this may be a new dance you wish never started. Whichever is you, no wonder it seems impossible to overcome these obstacles continually thrown your way, yet there is a possibility – and I am here to support you in that discovery.

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.
