Offering a relaxed & calm space, I utilize a relationally-focused, humanistic approach in my work with adults, elderly, kids/teens, who struggle with mood disorders, divorce, grief, stage of life adjustments, and self-esteem.
Sometimes, life breaks your heart, and you don’t recognize yourself anymore. You’re suddenly feeling lost, frustrated, dissatisfied, and tired of feeling unnoticed or unappreciated. You try your best to not crumble by holding it together, but the pressure to be “strong” or “perfect” prevents you from living life authentically and peacefully. With so much falling on your shoulders lately, you’re probably needing time/space to deal with your stress and sort through the disappointments and loss to find a way back to yourself. You want to feel better, you’re ready to talk, and you’re eager to set yourself free from what ails you.

You once believed there was more to life. On the brink of losing hope in the life you deserve, you've resigned to just survive, barely. The old worn out saying recycles like garbage, “If at first, you don’t succeed, try, try again,” only to be met with more failure. Disgust darkens your mood and sours your relationships. At work, at home, life has become a battle ground, Covid culture, politics, technology and media divides those you meet and love. Your name could replace Murphy’s Law, whatever can go wrong….endless trials and tribulations. So tired of it all. You wonder if there isn't a better way to live and love.

Psychotherapy is a process of self-discovery where you learn why you do what you do, as well as how to change behaviors. Many hide their authentic self, conforming to the expectations of others. Psychotherapy can assist you in becoming reacquainted with yourself.

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.
