I work with you from a place of deep compassion and understanding to help you obtain what you want from your life. Using a psychodynamic approach together we solve your issues and the pain they may cause you. Conditions such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, self sabotage, couple and family problems are approached from a humanistic and very individual perspective. I practice with the belief that seeing a counselor or therapist should encompass more than just symptom relief. Emotional and psychological integration for an improved quality of life in all areas plays into my counseling focus for major life enhancement.

I am invested in helping you become your best self and live your best life! Do you feel stuck in patterns of thinking, feeling, or acting, that you can't seem to break? Do you feel disconnected from yourself and others? The process of therapy with me may involve becoming aware of patterns that are holding you back, enhancing your self-worth, and reconnecting with yourself and others. It will also likely involve developing new ways of managing and responding to difficult feelings, thoughts, and working on behaviors that are holding you back from living the life you want.

Immediate Availability! Yung Pueblo, one of my favorite writers says, "Personal transformation is not easy. Healing yourself takes time. Letting go can sometimes feel overwhelming. Building new habits can seem like an uphill battle. Even with all of these challenges, inner work is worth it. This active form of self-love can radically change your life." Growth isn't just about being in full bloom; it's the process by which you get there...and how you continue to thrive after all the messiness from that growth. But often, you can't do this alone or without the right tools, support, and encouragement. That's what I'm here for!

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.
