Everyone has a story. While we learn language as children, we also learn languages within our relationships and interactions. The content of those interactions may eventually become the words that we speak. We learn to express ourselves according to these terms, but there is always more to the story. Through your lens, my goal is to help you cultivate awareness of specific patterns that perpetuate “stuck points” and support you while exploring your languages, interactions, and connections. I will provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment for us to explore the hurdles that impact your fulfillment and development.

I believe therapy is oriented at finding out something about you with you. Many of the struggles we experience are caused by responding to new life circumstances using past life experiences. During therapy we move with curiosity, exploring perspectives. We experiment giving ourself permission to feel deeper in an effort to bring focus to the present while honoring our past for brining us to this moment. Through this work, clients can challenge this "stuck” feeling and move toward leading fulfilling lives.

I utilize Adlerian therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Exposure and Response Prevention (evidence-based treatment).
Every individual has resilience that can help light the way through the hardest of times. Sometimes in life, it may be hard to remember that this strength lies within. My goal as a psychologist is to help rekindle that light, instilling hope and motivation in clients to use their strengths and build support networks to overcome life's hurdles. With respect for each client's individuality, I personalize treatment plans to best fits one's unique situation and personality. This may involve incorporating mindfulness, animal assisted therapy, parenting skills, group therapy, art/music, journaling, and use of electronics/social media.

Since I only treat a small range of problems, I can offer CBT, DBT, ACT, HRV biofeedback, and Adlerian therapy, an older psychoanalytic therapy that I find highly effective.
I've spent my entire professional life working with people who have trauma, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or a psychotic disorder. My clients are fighting a hard fight, and I value being in it with them. I called my web site "Audeo", which is Latin for "I dare", because my typical client needs some courage just to look up a therapist (or *another* therapist) and I respect it. When it was hard for you to show up for therapy, or use your coping skills, or get up today, you have my respect. You might be doing everything right when you don't feel right at all.

Adlerian Therapists
How does Adlerian psychology work?
In the framework of Adlerian therapy, people are motivated by a sense of belonging and community, which drives them to surmount feelings of inferiority so as to contribute to their society; fulfilling these desires can help people flourish. Adlerian therapy proceeds in four stages—engagement, assessment, insight, and reorientation—in an overall effort to understand the client’s past and to achieve their present-day humanistic goals.
Is Adlerian therapy humanistic?
Yes, Adlerian psychology is humanistic; it focuses on the whole person, emphasizes their strengths rather than just their symptoms, and centers them in determining how they can grow and flourish. This school of thought informed the work of Abraham Maslow, who went on to develop humanistic psychology.
How long does Adlerian therapy take?
Adlerian therapy is a short-term, goal-oriented form of therapy that takes around 15 to 20 weekly sessions. Of course, some people may be in therapy for a shorter or longer time frame; length depends on the individual and the problem or condition they wish to treat. Clients can ask their therapist about the timeline for treatment before they begin and check in periodically to ensure that they’re on the same page in terms of progress.
Is Adlerian therapy evidence based?
There is not as much evidence to support the effectiveness of Adlerian therapy as there is for other types of therapy such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. But Adlerian therapy may be the right therapy for some people—whether they’re seeking to treat mental disorders or achieve self-growth—especially those looking for a holistic approach that emphasizes relationships, community, self-worth, and purpose.
