I work with children, adolescents, and adults. I believe in treating the whole person, and I work closely with other professionals as needed in order to help clients with difficulties in both mind (motivation, depression, stress management, anxiety, learning disabilities) and body (autoimmune disorders, chronic/complex pain, cancer). I am particularly interested in helping clients who are coping with multiple stressors (e.g., relationship problems, career issues, health concerns, trauma). I believe it is essential that each client's treatment strategy is tailored specifically to his or her needs, style of interaction, and ability to work toward specific goals.

STAR is a 9 day/9 night healing retreat. We do four retreats per year. Our retreats are based on Pre and Perinatal Psychology. We provide an emotionally safe and supportive environment in which a participant can begin to drop his or her mask and defenses, reconnect to his heart and feelings, and get back in touch with her authentic self and essence. The STAR process works with grief, anger issues, anxiety, depression, and other issues that can benefit from reconnecting experientially with one's heart and essence.

I believe every person has talents and a unique purpose in life. Sometimes issues arise that cause distress and unhappiness. Do you awaken feeling ready to take on the day? Do you have a sense of drive, ambition, fulfillment and enjoyment in your life? If you have children, are they happy and reaching their potential? If not, then perhaps the support and guidance of counseling can help you and/or your children. If you are feeling stuck or challenged beyond your own resources, engaging in counseling can help you get back on the right track.

I have found that people are the most successful in their counseling journey when they are ready to work on what brings them in. While individuals may not be able to identify their specific goals, they are motivated for a change to occur. Motivation is what propels each person throughout the counseling process to achieve the goals that are established together.

Feeling like a mere shadow of who you used to be, just going through the motions? The constant pretending and performing is draining. You've faced some tough challenges—it's overwhelming. You want to feel good again, without those past struggles constantly resurfacing. So, you put on a brave face, trying to be the person everyone expects you to be. But your relationships are shaky, and it’s frustrating when you lose your temper with someone you care about or can’t accomplish what you want to. You're worried others will grow tired of dealing with all your trauma. You're out of ideas on how to turn things around.

Are you feeling hopeless, anxious, depressed, and overwhelmed? Have you been reacting to life in ways that you are not proud of or not really who you remember yourself being? Do you come home every night and say to yourself… “it’s okay, I’ll just have one to take the edge off,” but you find yourself through the whole bottle. At first it started with decompressing after a hard day at work, but now it’s become a habit that you can't break. Numbing out has just become part of your daily 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.
