Do you find yourself trying hard to overcome difficulties in your life, but end up feeling stuck, wondering “Why can’t I change this”? You might feel like your old patterns have control over you. It’s frustrating to commit to change and yet seem to make little progress. It might be time to try something different.

My clients are cycle breakers..... "A cycle breaker is someone who grew up without an example of the life they wanted or needed, and they fought like hell to build that life anyway." -Nate Postlethwait- To be a cycle breaker is a burden and a gift. When you create a path forward in life, of your own vision, it requires determination and a natural tendency towards hyper-independence. It can be rewarding, and exhilarating but equally lonely, and exhausting. It is time to put those burdens down, and express your true authentic self.

Accepting New Clients- Many of my clients are in recovery, have traumatic family dynamics, and generally struggle to feel settled in society. I’m interested in what brought you to the moment of seeking out therapy and how I can support you with getting your needs met. Historically I have worked with people impacted by trauma, especially those whose healing has become complicated by financial difficulties and a broken system. I have over 5 years of experience with trauma, and often help those who experience negative self talk, shame, anxiety, and depression.

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.
