I believe that we all have a superhero hidden deep within us, and sometimes it takes something out of the ordinary to awaken that part of ourselves. That something could be anything from the loss of a loved one or job to an overwhelming amount of stress, and anything in between, and it is by working through such events that we unveil the hero. Life often leaves us feeling stuck - uncertain of how or where to move forward. I enjoy helping people dig deep until they find that hidden superhero, and then working to help them learn to harness its power in order to help themselves get unstuck.

It takes courage to begin the healing journey. Choosing to start therapy is a scary and brave step towards walking that path, and I truly believe we are not meant to do this journey alone. As a therapist, I consider this a sacred part of my job to help you reconnect to your most authentic self. Often times, that core self gets lost under the weight of stressors, personal issues, anxieties, etc. Let's find a way to help you tackle these together! I also have a special interest in working with individuals interested in incorporating spirituality into their therapy sessions.

Jennifer will equip you with the skills you need through a cooperative and collaborative relationship that focuses on your strengths that already exist. Her approach is that of a wellness model as she believes most people hold their own answers and solutions to their challenges but simply need a safe place in which to share experiences, improve insight and self-awareness and explore solutions. She recognizes that everyone has a story. She doesn’t believe in putting clients where she thinks they need to be but, rather, in meeting them where they are. She serves as a guide to help you discover your own solutions.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed or wondering why relationships tend to feel so difficult? Do you find that you beat yourself up with self-criticism? Life can be challenging, and we may feel that we have to just keep going and suck it up, which may lead us to feel lonelier and more overwhelmed. In my experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, and previous experience as a yoga instructor I have found that the combination of mindfulness, self-awareness, and processing trauma can be quite powerful in finding our authentic selves.

It's clear to you that they are acting out because they are anxious, have trouble with social connections, or aren't getting enough sleep. You’ve tried countless things and different approaches but still see no progress. No book or podcast can tell you how to coach them through their troubles. Watching your child struggle breaks your heart because you don’t know how to provide them with relief. You feel hopeless.

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.
