As a licensed psychologist, I approach therapy from a humanistic attachment perspective.
Times of uncertainty often draw our attention to our fears and anxieties, but they also illuminate the things that are most important to us. Whether you’re wanting to learn more about yourself; worrying about your child’s well-being; suffering the loss of a loved one; processing abuse or trauma; experiencing a major life transition; feeling unsatisfied in your relationships; or are just wanting more out of life, therapy may be a great place to start.

I tend to approach my work from an existential and humanistic model of therapy, and I think it's important to acknowledge from the beginning that you are the expert in yourself.
If you are someone who "breaks the mold," or someone who always felt out of place, I am here to help explore that experience. Whether you identify as LGBTQ+, Neurodiverse, or even a "gamer," you have unique parts of yourself that require an understanding that one size does not fit all. Depression, anxiety, and trauma responses can all be a result of living in a world that might not understand you; I want to create a therapeutic space where you feel safe to be authentically you.

I work from a humanistic orientation.
Hello! I am glad you're here. For me, being a therapist is like being a compassionate companion on someone's journey, helping them rediscover the incredible depth and strength within themselves and their communities. Life can throw us curveballs, leaving us feeling disconnected from who we truly are. But by embracing every part of ourselves with kindness, even the parts we may not always love, we open up avenues for healing and personal growth.

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.
