My ideal client is someone who is serious and committed to personal growth and change. Whether new to therapy or experienced, regardless of their particular problems I only ask that they are open to collaborative dialogue leading to personal growth and change. If you come ready to work, then I am sure you will learn to deal more effectively with your life and relationships. Empowering my clients to face the truth about their lives and themselves through personal accountability and giving them the strength to initiate change and increase personal effectiveness is my goal for therapy.

I have been practicing as a licensed psychotherapist since 1983. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and couples. I provide an understanding, caring and empathic environment to help you gain a better understanding of yourself and your circumstances. I utilize traditional “talk therapy,” which focuses on clarifying the nature of the problems. I help you to understand how your life-history contributes to your current situation, and to recognize and utilize your strengths in order to change negative patterns of thinking, behaving, and communicating.

Whether seeking therapy for the first time or the fiftieth, it takes courage and strength. I am a firm believer that every human being is worthy and deserving of love, connectivity, and fulfilling relationships. Within those relationships we learn something unique, and seek safety and connection, but sometimes do not receive what we need. Right now you may be feeling limited in your ability to cope with your emotions, feeling hopelessness and overwhelmed with things outside your control. Whether you are going through a big change or you are having difficulty understanding your emotions, you do not need to do this alone.

All too often we set our feelings aside, thinking we will deal with them later. That's what I did for years. In my early 20's after a near death experience & a massive panic attack my personal journey of healing & growth started. Since, I have been working on my healing, mindset, undoing-behaviors, re-writing my narrative in order to live a happier, productive and purposeful life. Since 2003, I have been operating my empathic coaching practice, & supporting my clients to their right path. If we don't deal with our feelings & past we end up storing them in our minds & bodies, and this is when anxiety & other health issues arise.

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.
