My personal style of therapy is typically using a Humanistic approach coupled with DBT, CBT, and Strengths-Based approaches.
Thank you for making you and your mental health and wellbeing a priority. Sometimes that first step is the hardest to take. During difficult and challenging times people just want to be heard and validated in their experiences. Your feelings and experiences are 100% valid and I am here to help support you toward healthy change. Seeing a therapist can be intimidating, but I want you to rest assured knowing that my objective is to foster a safe, judgement free space where we can work together to build upon your strengths and accomplish your goals.

I practice from a humanistic and existential lens with the ultimate goal of helping my clients live more authentically, finding comfort in discomfort and accepting their whole selves.
Life can be difficult and overwhelming, especially when we feel most alone. Counseling provides a collaborative space to meaningfully explore our thoughts, feelings, and experiences with another person.

My role as counselor is rooted in humanistic therapy.
Starting or continuing your journey in therapy is an enormous act of self-care. Life has so much to offer us, but it can feel daunting to keep up with the many directions we are pulled on a daily basis. I enjoy working with clients to implement their own wellness goals with a realistic and individualized care. I believe strongly in allowing space for clients to open up to themselves about what they need. Together, we can identify patterns and feelings that will help you to move with more confidence through the various seasons of life.

I practice from a trauma-informed, humanistic perspective utilizing a variety of techniques including EMDR, TF-CBT, art, music, and creativity.
We all feel stressed and overwhelmed throughout our lives. Life hits us with challenges that can make us feel stuck, discouraged, anxious, depressed, and hopeless. The first step is often asking for a little guidance. Seeking therapy, asking for help, is a sign that you are embracing your strength and are ready to move forward. I can help you find your path and walk alongside you as you take those first steps toward balance and holistic growth.

I am trained in Child Centered Play Therapy, which is a research based, developmentally appropriate mental health intervention for kids. Child Centered Play Therapy uses play - which is the natural language of children - as a means to allow children to process big feelings, inner experiences, struggles and triumphs. My job is to facilitate this play and establish a safe, therapeutic relationship with the child. This relationship, paired with a safe, consistent play environment, has the potential to decrease problematic behaviors, increase self-esteem, increase positive coping skills and improve overall functioning.

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.
