As a recent graduate from Adler University, Chicago IL, I bring a fresh perspective to therapy that combines principles from Adlerian Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Humanistic Existentialism.
Through my specialized training, I offer a holistic approach to therapy that draws upon the strengths of Adlerian Psychology, the practical tools of CBT, and the deep introspection of Humanistic Existentialism. I believe in tailoring each session to your individual needs and goals, creating a safe and compassionate space where we can work together to address concerns such as anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, and personal development. Together we can work through those experiences and find a way to pave a route through your past experiences into a better tomorrow.

I do this through an Adlerian based integrative style to facilitate addressing the client(s)' specific circumstances and goals.
Humanity thrives through relationships, yet these same relationships often spawn challenges creating various levels and types of mental distress. Mental distress leads to second guessing, criticism of self and others, even hopelessness. As a result, gaining a guide to support personal navigation through the situational dynamics are desired in order to gain insight and skills to be confident in steps forward to a better life.

I believe that people today are looking for meaning in their lives. The issues that many are experiencing such as depression, anxiety, anger, and relationship problems stem from a struggle to find meaning and one's place in the world. A balance must be achieved between the psychological and spiritual dimensions of the client's life. It is my personal therapeutic philosophy that the issues that the client may be facing can be used as a motivating force to help him or her achieve and maintain this psycho-spiritual union.

This struggle may be found in a past trauma that is sticks out in your heart and mind as a thorn piercing in. Or maybe it's the neurodivergent attributes of yourself you haven't quite understood. Maybe you've been diagnosed with ADHD at a young age and never learned anything about it or how to take care of it other than taking medication - or worse, thinking that you were inadequate. Maybe it's the navigation of unclear waters around your own psyche. May we create clear pathways together!

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.
