The modern world spins so rapidly, and with such intensity, many individuals search for a therapeutic relationship that cultivates a distinctive space for authentic self-reflection. After all, reflecting in isolation is limiting since the only voice we hear is our own, which is often critical. Some individuals come to therapy to reconnect with their nature, others to process a paradoxical state of healing sickness. Some come to rust away their armor, others to unify in the curative presence of relational synchronicity. Ultimately, one comes to therapy by virtue of being a genuine expression of hope, resilience, and self-empowerment.

Welcome. I am a Clinical Psychologist who approaches counseling as a natural occurrence existing within contemporary life. Sometimes, circumstances can become overwhelming when old tools are not up to the task, or there simply are no tools. I travel respectfully through evolving lives with compassion and humor to address: relationship issues, pain, divorce, transitions, depression, sexual identity, PTSD, anxiety, grief, careers, food, addictions and substance abuse. Whether working short-term or longer, ongoing or intermittent, my clients learn to access their own internal and natural resources, revealing fresh insights that provide the clarity needed to move forward.

After 10 years of agency experience, working with kids through play therapy and other evidence-based methods, I am opening up my schedule to private practice clients. I believe quality one on one care and family therapy can greatly improve children's emotional and mental struggles as well as support the family unit. I also work with families and adults with ADHD, Anxiety, and Trauma Related concerns.

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.
