One of the bravest things we can do is ask for help. Scrolling through profile after profile and trying to find the right therapist can be especially challenging. If you've found this page on your healing journey, know you are worthy of well-being. It can be overwhelming when you don't feel that's true, but that's where therapy can help.

I work from a humanistic stance and bring a compassionate and collaborative stance to my work whether it be in family, couples or individual therapy.
Are you on a path in life you never planned and feeling overwhelmed? Raising a challenging child? Facing a life transition that is stretching you to your limit? Is relational conflict causing hurt and confusion between you and your child, partner or extended family? Perhaps you simply need a safe, supportive space to share and process your pain, and get back to a sense of well-being.

From their influences I established a Humanistic perspective that each person is the expert of their own life and the belief that modeling unconditional respect is the beginning of therapeutic transformation.
In strength-based practices I work with adults and couples who find themselves in difficult stages of life. Navigating the grief and loss that are intrinsic parts of difficult stages I also assist my clients in developing curiosity and realistic expectations. With individuals, some stages include young adulthood seeking self-awareness, the end of a relationship due to divorce, relocation or death, shifting parental roles, and re-establishing oneself after family, career or death of a partner. With couples, regaining loving camaraderie moving forward through tragedies and infidelity as well as renewing connection and enjoyment.

My approach is grounded in holistic and humanistic values, ensuring you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported throughout your journey.
You're tired of trying to navigate a world that wasn't designed for you. Maybe you've had negative counseling experiences before, leaving sessions feeling misunderstood and unsupported. You want to try again. Navigating a neurotypical world, transitioning into civilian life, or carrying the weight of trauma can be isolating and make life harder than it needs to be. I strive to help those who have experienced trauma, military/veterans, and adults with ADHD and/or Autism. You're the expert on yourself - my job is to help you reconnect with and trust your inner voice.

I primarily utilize a humanistic approach to counseling by helping clients free themselves of negative behavioral patterns and actions.
Life is too long to remain unhappy and too short to have continued regrets. During a session, my intention is to assist the client in utilizing their strengths to help them solve their struggles. I offer as much insight as needed while helping the client resolve their concerns and develop healthy coping strategies. I typically start out asking questions that help me get to know you and learn what your concerns are and future sessions consist of coping strategies, acknowledging trauma, learning how to process what has happened, and how to accept future possibilities.

I draw primarily from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), CBT and Humanistic theories of counseling.
My work with clients has included addressing depression, anxiety, self-esteem and identity concerns as well as the social/emotional challenges that accompany ADHD, Autism and other disabilities. As a self avowed ‘nerd therapist’ with ADHD myself, I am passionate about working with fellow nerds, outcasts, artists or creatives who may feel out of sync with a mainstream approach. I am particularly adept at assisting clients in identifying their strengths and talents and applying them toward career, educational and other life goals. I am sex positive and endeavor to be an ally to LGBTQ+, poly and kink communities.

We all experience challenges in our life, and sometimes we need support to make the changes we are seeking.

My theory of change is rooted in a humanistic approach to therapy that focuses on treating the whole person, and emphasizes the strengths of the client.

I tend to lean into a family systems approach to therapy when working with families and individuals.

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.
