I naturally gravitate toward a humanistic approach because I believe that most of my clients have both the tools and the ability to manage their own lives but benefit from being listened to in a non-judgmental, non-directive setting, and partnered with to develop these skills.

My goal is to help you get through those times with the understanding that while difficulties will impact your life, they don't have to define it. Trauma, depression, anxiety, and grief can all be debilitating. I can help you process your situation, understand and express your emotions in a healthy way, and develop reliable coping skills for the future. I strive to maintain a non-judgmental environment where you can feel supported and comfortable exploring difficult issues or destructive habits. You don’t have to struggle alone!

Another day with anxiety. Racing thoughts, tight chest, can’t breathe, with emotions all over the place. You want more from life – healthy relationships, hitting goals, and to make a difference – but you can’t figure out how to get there. You feel the anxiety, but it doesn’t make sense – life seems fine. It pops up out of nowhere – when you’re getting dressed in the morning or out on a date. You’re frustrated, trying to push past it but that only makes it worse. You see other people with loving and committed partners, great family relationships, or thriving friendships, and don’t think that will ever be you. Is it even possible?

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.
