I operate from an eclectic approach, but primarily utilize theories grounded in humanistic, person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and solution-focused orientations.
My approach to the counseling process is to provide a non-judgmental, empathic, and compassionate atmosphere where clients and I work collaboratively to explore and improve areas of concern that are impeding growth and daily functioning. I believe the counseling process encompasses the wholeness of the individual(s), taking into consideration the impact of emotional and psychological aspects along with relationships, family, and community on the individual(s) and their self-view.

“Fix it.” That is what everyone wants to do and should when they are struggling with what they don’t like about their lives. I will do my best to help you navigate whatever is problematic and help you use the skills and resources you have and then help you figure out the ones you don’t to get things handled in a way that works for you. I love being a part of people’s journey and truly enjoy seeing people feel better about themselves and the way they interact with the world all from what they have themselves done to make that happen. I tend to be conservative in my approach, but not judgmental.

I like to use the CBT model, Humanistic approach, the Psychoanalytic approach, to name a few.
As I like to tell my clients, anyone at any stage of their lives can benefit from therapy. Maybe you're experiencing anxiety, depression, or life stress, etc. Therapy helps by having someone to talk with, process the stress, and formulate a treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs. Therapy works best as a collaborative process between the therapist and client, working together to achieve a positive and supportive workplace where mental and emotional health can thrive.

Regardless of specific tools I may be utilizing, I approach my therapy practice with an existentialist, humanistic, trauma-informed, and liberation-oriented lens.
Have you been feeling unheard? Have you felt that others have been quick to label your distress, but not support your healing? Creating and holding space for folks to feel safe in, share, be authentic, be vulnerable, and heal is something I have felt called to do throughout my life. I am an adamant believer that individuals are the experts on their own experience, and view therapy as a partnership on a journey toward healing, for which an affirming and non-pathologizing space is essential.

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.
