Our lives are filled with joys, accomplishments, struggles, and sorrows. From many we derive happiness, but others leave us feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or stuck and in need of clarity or a different direction.I understand that seeking counseling can sometimes be difficult or scary and believe that asking for help is a great expression of strength. My goal is to create a comfortable environment in which you may share your story and my approach is collaborative; working with you to identify your needs, the issues you want to address, and the goals that you want to achieve while in therapy.

I am old enough to know that life does not always lend itself to simplistic answers. At various periods we all find ourselves in difficult circumstances that feel overwhelming, sometimes related to life changing tragedies like death, divorce, new medical diagnosis like cancer, job loss, or catastrophic injury. In these situations your life changes in an instant. There is an avalanche of distressing emotions and life no longer feels solid or stable. As a therapist who has experienced some serious, life changing tragedies, I understand those feelings and am specifically trained in grief and trauma.

I work from a synthesized theoretical framework combining the models of existential philosophy, Adlerian therapy, and the feminist orientation to enact healthy self-concepts and senses of purpose for my clients.
Throughout life, we often experience problems defining our identity and life’s purpose, frequently encountering depression, problems in personal relationships, values orientation challenges, and role concerns. These anxieties influence our major decisions, lifestyle choices, and expectations of ourselves and our loved ones. Many people turn to counselors to help them cope with the issues of identity, role expectations, and life’s purpose in the hopes of achieving a sense of meaning and intention.

You have already taken the first step toward healing, growth and answers by beginning your search for help. Struggles in life do not define us, but open up doors of greater insight and strength if we are willing to pause, listen and learn. It’s so easy to get used to rushing through life, content to just survive - doing to the point that we forget how to enjoy being, reflecting and growing. Sometimes you may feel like you lost yourself along the way, like you don’t know who you really are anymore.

Adlerian Therapists
How does Adlerian psychology work?
In the framework of Adlerian therapy, people are motivated by a sense of belonging and community, which drives them to surmount feelings of inferiority so as to contribute to their society; fulfilling these desires can help people flourish. Adlerian therapy proceeds in four stages—engagement, assessment, insight, and reorientation—in an overall effort to understand the client’s past and to achieve their present-day humanistic goals.
Is Adlerian therapy humanistic?
Yes, Adlerian psychology is humanistic; it focuses on the whole person, emphasizes their strengths rather than just their symptoms, and centers them in determining how they can grow and flourish. This school of thought informed the work of Abraham Maslow, who went on to develop humanistic psychology.
How long does Adlerian therapy take?
Adlerian therapy is a short-term, goal-oriented form of therapy that takes around 15 to 20 weekly sessions. Of course, some people may be in therapy for a shorter or longer time frame; length depends on the individual and the problem or condition they wish to treat. Clients can ask their therapist about the timeline for treatment before they begin and check in periodically to ensure that they’re on the same page in terms of progress.
Is Adlerian therapy evidence based?
There is not as much evidence to support the effectiveness of Adlerian therapy as there is for other types of therapy such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. But Adlerian therapy may be the right therapy for some people—whether they’re seeking to treat mental disorders or achieve self-growth—especially those looking for a holistic approach that emphasizes relationships, community, self-worth, and purpose.
