I work primarily from a humanistic perspective, which means I believe that each person has the innate capacity to grow, create and love, and they have the ability to direct their own paths.
I work with clients to guide them on their path by helping them to build self-awareness into how their thoughts, feelings and behaviors have impacted their lives. I believe that one of the most important parts of therapy is to develop insight and awareness into our inner selves, and only then can we start to effect changes in our lives. I also strongly believe that building self-compassion and self-acceptance is important in therapy, as the relationship we have with ourselves can greatly impact how we show up in other relationships in our lives.

I use a humanistic approach as well as Clinical Hypnosis.
My style is to support you in connecting with and understanding your deepest agendas and to facilitate the expansion of your capacity to live authentically, with all the parts of yourself. Many people have an intuition of when it's time to make changes, but are uncertain about how to do this, or where to begin. I'll help you generate the right conditions for change by first working to thoroughly understand your inner landscape, and what it’s like to be you. I'll assist you in refining your own instruction manual, find a useful balance between acceptance and discipline, and live a life with more self-compassion.

Welcome. I believe we all have the power within us to get to the healing, healthy growth, and development we need. My particular clinical approach is based in humanistic, relational, and family systems theory, and is focused more on human potential than it is on human pathology. Prior to graduate school, I studied widely in philosophy, theology, art, literature, life sciences, and athletic performance, all of which inform my view of human nature, and human existence. What in your life would you like to be better? In our work together, I utilize the collective wisdom of the healing and growth of others to bear on the present moment.

My therapeutic approach is integrated that is most heavily influenced by Humanistic, Adlerian psychology, Liberation Psychology, and other holistic and wellness-based approaches with a multicultural & social justice lens.
There are times when the tasks of life seem insurmountable and too much to bear. I take a practical approach to counseling that is grounded in honesty, humor, non-judgment, and personal reflection. Sankofa means "It is not forbidden to go back and fetch what you forgot". Our past experiences, family history, and beliefs and values contribute to how we manage life's challenges. Looking to your past uncovers valuable lessons. I believe that positive change occurs through building on the individual's strength and focusing on the power of relationship, and past success as the primary source of healing and personal growth.

My therapeutic orientation is humanistic.
I currently have openings for individuals and couples impacted by trauma, anxiety, neurodivergence, bipolar and schizophrenia spectrum disorders, and/or substance use. I prioritize intakes for members of the LGBTQIA+ community who are seeking a safe space to process trauma and explore identity. Trauma, anxiety, and the pressure of meeting societal expectations can impact every area of our lives. Left unaddressed, these impacts may leave us feeling exhausted, shameful, and hopeless. In our work together, you can expect a safe, nonjudgmental space to unpack, address, and develop skills to better manage these stressors.

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.
