You will be empowered and supported through patience and respect, using creative tools, nature, and a holistic approach.

I use several evidenced based therapeutic modalities which include psychoanalysis, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT), humanistic and existential therapy, mindfulness, meditation, breath work and hypnotherapy.
I am dedicated to helping clients improve their lives and achieve self-transformation. This includes learning to cope, manage, overcome and transcend mental health issues. Building mindfulness and emotional awareness is key to understanding how our belief systems and emotions drive our decisions/behaviors. Our sessions will be fully engaged in building healthier thoughts, feelings, emotions, beliefs, values, perceptions, assumptions so that we can reshape our life narrative and see reality differently. Each individual is capable of healing psychological wounds, finding peace and balance, while being centered and present.

There is no doubt that life can get hard, and sometimes we just need to talk about it. I use a very heartfelt and humanistic approach when it comes to therapy because as a human being myself, I have seen my own share of adversity and strife. I use a cognitive behavioral approach as well. I truly believe the way one thinks greatly influences their emotions and behaviors. Every person has a story, and I seek to get to know that story. I feel in order to truly understand where one is in life, it is important to understand where they have been.

I utilize a positive, strength-based, humanistic, non-judgmental approach in my work.
It is not easy being a parent! It is not easy being a kid either! Are you a parent of a child or teen who is struggling with anger, grief, sadness, anxiety, ADHD or another emotional challenge? Children and teens are so smart. They tend to know the solutions to their problems but sometimes need additional outside support as they navigate the problem-solving process. Parents, I haven’t forgotten you; you are true warriors. Sometimes support is needed to help you navigate the challenges of parenthood. Being a parent is the hardest job you will ever have, and it can also be the most satisfying.

I use the therapeutic relationship to create closeness and trust, along with humanistic principles to encourage curiosity and self-discovery.
I have a heart for busy, overworked professionals quietly battling anxiety, depression, PTSD, and/or relationship challenges. I am a great fit for those mid-lifers out there, suddenly in the throes of identity confusion, caretaking aging parents, grief and change, and other existential concerns. I can help anyone needing to slow down and be mindful (not judgmental) of barriers to life satisfaction.

I passionately work to empower clients.

I firmly believe that there are reasons for hopelessness, destress, and being thwarted. Said another way, there is nothing innately wrong with you. There are just problems that you have not distinguished or determined how to deal with. I can support you in developing your own power to work through them all.

Utilizing a dynamic, collaborative, and Humanistic approach to counseling, I integrate technology and data-driven results to reach the best treatment outcomes.
We can find ourselves getting entangled in a fast-paced world, living our lives based on the expectations of others. The mixed messages we may receive from family and larger society might contribute to the anxiety and confusion we experience. Therapy can be a place to allow ourselves to slow down, explore our fears and desires, feel heard, and heal. Clients can receive an unbiased, nonjudgmental, and fresh perspective from a trained professional in a safe environment in which their personal information is confidential. Let me help you grow to reach your treatment goals and achieve a higher quality of life.

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.
