My primary modality is Humanistic Psychotherapy, but I certainly tailor the treatment given the presenting challenges while expressing empathy, support, and acceptance to someone, regardless of their presenting issues.
I have over thirty years of clinical experience and I strongly believe in the resiliency of the human spirit; the ability for a person to heal and grow given the right kind of nurturing and support. I have witnessed this countless times in many different settings in my professional life. My experience has largely been, though not exclusively, working with men as I have worked in the field of HIV/AIDS for a number of years. I focused on men’s' issues in my graduate work and that, in combination with years of practice, have allowed me a particular insight with regard to working with men and their presenting issues in therapy.

My therapeutic approach integrates humanistic as well as cognitive-behavioral theories to help sort through the various challenges you may be facing at this time.
I understand that seeking “counseling” or “therapy” can be very broad and mean different things. It can be intimidating at first if you haven’t had any prior experience or surprising to experience different therapeutic approaches if you have previously experienced counseling. I want to tell you that I’m here to provide assistance for the needs that you have currently in your life. I see counseling as a dual relationship where you get to be on the driver’s seat and choose where to go on this journey. I seat next to you pointing out details, providing useful information or simply supporting you as you reach towards your destination.

Life is difficult, and what makes it difficult usually involves other people. You can't change them, and changing yourself... who wants to stop being themselves to please other people? What you CAN change is how you RELATE to other people: how you act, how you think, what you're willing to put up with. A lot of pain is caused by our own limited view of ourselves; we contain much more than we know. I do talk therapy and art therapy, either or both -- that's up to you. You know more about you. I'll follow your lead.

However, comparing your problems and experiences to others will not allow you to heal.

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.
