Therapy can help with difficult emotions like anger or low self-esteem. I can help you deal with daily issues, stressful situations, and habits you've been trying to break. I can help you come to grips with personal issues, help you to feel stronger in the face of challenges, and change behaviors that hold you back. I can also help you build relationship skills, figure out your goals, and strengthen your self-confidence. I always say that therapy can be like having a personal trainer for your brain, helping you exercise your mental and emotional muscles. Therapy can give you the tools to live a more fulfilling and healthy life.

As we continuously evolve in this journey called "Life", we all encounter many challenges that can hinder our ability to maintain a healthy mindset. Many of us tend to want the instant gratification of happiness and success but struggle with how to obtain it. Every client has unique situations, where one's sense of self-efficacy can play a major role in how they approach goals, tasks and challenges. These determinants play a major role in how thoughts are created, feelings are instilled and behaviors are executed. Therefore, through a wide range of individualized services customized and effective treatment plans are provided.

Taking the first step to attend therapy can be nerve wrecking and intimidating but can also demonstrate great insight and self-empowerment. My belief and intention in providing therapy is to collaboratively work with individuals to meet their unique needs and to develop a healthy and positive sense of self in order to accomplish personal goals. I also believe the therapeutic process is most effective when a strong therapeutic relationship is established; therefore, I provide an empathic, supportive, open, direct, and nonjudgmental environment with some humor mixed in when appropriate.

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.
