I use in Existential- Humanistic Theory, as well as Interpersonal Process Therapy.
I personally know what it is like to struggle and how hard it can be to reach out for support. Frequently, we can find ourselves merely enduring our circumstances. Therapy can be seen as a catalyst for us to gain insight into the aspects of our lives that we may be overlooking. We often create subconscious strategies to manage our pain, anxiety, and trauma. Sometimes those strategies are helpful. Sometimes less so. Realizing that some of our strategies aren't as helpful can be the catalyst to pursuing therapy. I hope to help in creating something new and in helping us to better understand you and why you do the things you do.

Everyone has a unique story, and therapy doesn’t look the same for any two people. I am committed to remaining curious, non-judgemental and open to understanding you. I believe that it is imperative to be grounded in evidence-based practices, I find it equally as important to be genuine and compassionate within this very connection-based work. I primarily utilize humanistic and narrative therapeutic approaches, and often incorporate other modalities to best address the unique needs of each person I work with. I am trained in and offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy.

My therapeutic approach blends existential and humanistic principles with a strong foundation in logotherapy.
I am consistently amazed by the resilience of the human spirit, and Like Viktor Frankl, believe that “the most human of all human capabilities is the capability to turn a tragedy into a personal triumph, to transform suffering into a human achievement” (Frankl, 1963). Life’s challenges are not meant to break us but to propel us toward growth and personal fulfillment. In my practice, I am dedicated to guiding individuals through their struggles, helping them uncover their inner strength and resilience.

I approach therapy with a nonjudgmental perspective and a curiosity to understand the unique experiences leading clients to therapy. I believe a strong, genuine connection and collaboration between therapist and client can not only be an opportunity to improve coping skills and process through trauma and other difficulties, but also a catalyst to improving access to experiences of joy and contentment in life. I support clients with their therapy goals whether returning or starting for the first time. Therapy is often a brave journey of exploring the parts of ourselves that we might avoid… feeling scared, sad, angry, confused.

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.
