Whether you are encountering personal problems, relationship issues, life adjustments, or confronting trauma; therapy has the potential to offer you support, consistency, and insight to help. I seek to address both the immediate presenting problems you are dealing with and the deeper, more long term issues that may be contributing as well. I value genuine connection, humor, suspending judgment, and supporting others in all phases of life in my therapeutic approach. Through the lens of these values I utilize a range of therapeutic modalities including; ACT, EMDR, MBCT, EFT, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, and a humanistic approach.

I personally know what it is like to reach out for support. 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.

Anxious perfectionists go through perpetual guilt, shame, and self-punishment. No matter how hard you try, you're always falling short. It's exhausting, but you don't really know how to relax and probably don't sleep so well. Maybe you're first-generation, or the sibling who had to keep it together, or a grown-up "gifted and talented" kid. Anxious perfectionism may also show up as body tension, severe procrastination and indecision, and difficulty with boundaries and people-pleasing. Perfectionists don't do things perfectly—they feel like they ALWAYS have to do better. You may not even be sure if you can call yourself a good person.

Navigating life can feel like trudging up a stream through knee-deep mud. When I experienced this myself, I found comfort in therapy but eventually started to feel frustrated when I felt like I was just getting really good at playing mind games with myself rather than feeling an embodied sense of peace and clarity. In parallel, I was noticing the same with my clients early in my career. I decided to learn everything I could about psychology and neuroscience and apply what I learned in my own life and in my practice. I have loved being able to help clients achieve embodied wellness by gently amplifying their natural capacity to heal.

Taking care of our mental health is just as important as our physical health.

I also understand coming to therapy to get help with life's challenges can be scary. You don’t have to do this alone, and I will go at your pace and support you in developing the skills and confidence to face those challenges. Every human is worthy of love, acceptance, and respect just as they are, and I work hard to create a safe space for my clients where they feel they can share and be themselves.

As your therapist, I am committed to always remember to be empathetic to you and your needs. I have a double master's degree, with second master's in Play Therapy. Children communicate their emotions through play. It can be difficult for adults to help a child communicate with issues when they have suffered a traumatic experience. (Abuse, Divorce, Adoption, Generational Trauma, or Fostered). They need a healing environment to rebuild trust, express emotions of fear and uncertainty, and feel relief from constant reminders of their traumatic experiences. Play therapy meets the needs for all ages from 2-18 and beyond.

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.
