I specialize in cultivating a therapeutic relationship, with an humanistic client centered approach in assisting individuals in mobilizing their inner strength to work through irrational fears, anxiety, depression and dysfunctional behavior and relationships.
My ideal client is an individual who feels as if their world is beginning to unravel emotionally, socially, spiritually and physically. Often such feelings are precipitated by acute, post traumatic or situational stress. Personal relationships often begin to show signs of strain and bouts of depression and anxiety are constant companions. For me the process of psychotherapy is based in a relationship where my clients are afforded an opportunity to open up inner hurts and past trauma in a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment. My office setting is relaxing and reflects my deep commitment to my clients well being.

Coming from a humanistic and existential approach, I integrate other therapeutic methods, interventions, and tools as needed to help you to identify patterns of thinking, feeling, and sensing, to make the unconscious conscious, and to better understand yourself and others.
I understand how challenging it can be to navigate questions like what to change and what to accept, what's healthy and what's harmful, and how to get unstuck in self-defeating patterns. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and healing environment for you to share your unique story, gain valuable insights, and increase self-awareness and compassion.

Existential- humanistic theory considers the responsibility, freedom, and ability to accept consequences that are inherently part of the human experience.
I find art therapy to be a versatile tool to help manage an array of symptoms/distress in a way that does not always require speaking. If it is not time to talk about something, but you do want to overcome distress or begin to change your mindset, we can find ways to make art about it. Art can be a powerful tool capable of manifesting dreams and confronting nightmares. You don’t have to be a Picasso or experienced with art to benefit from art therapy. Sometimes, the process of art making can be enough. I have strong values in cultural competence and experience helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD and more.

“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.

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.
