In sessions I utilize a variety of approaches such as CBT, DBT, humanistic, mindfulness-based, and trauma-informed therapy.
Everyone deserves this chance to better themselves and relieve the burden that mental health issues can bring to our daily lives. There are many reasons people seek therapy. There could be feelings of nervousness or sadness, or an urge to finally get what's bothering you off your chest. No matter what it is, therapy brings out the best in you, and may surprise you. I've interacted with many clients who come in for one problem, and then discover hidden pieces of themselves.

My training is in Person-Centered, Humanistic therapy, though I bring some Existential and CBT tools, too.
Immediate Openings Available - Please contact for scheduling! I have a wide variety of experience working in settings ranging from the VA, those who have experienced incarceration, and common mental health distress. I am up for the challenge and greatly enjoy helping others see their potential. I have worked with people to explore various concerns ranging from trauma, to life transitions, to just trying to figure out what life is about. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all model, and work best with those that are willing to be flexible and are ready to feel the way they want to feel.

I use an ecliptic approach based upon humanistic principals, using common denominators in terms of what brings us together as human beings.
I enjoy working with individuals of different ages, ethnicity, in need of individual, couples or family sessions. I believe that life is a journey, which at times, can be very challenging. Sometimes we find ourselves at a crossroads, trying to decide our direction. Staying on familiar paths can be easier yet repetitive and stagnant. Growth means change and following new paths, though unfamiliar and with unseen risks. Therapy can help one believe in themselves and try new paths, with the therapist lighting the way.

I’m a Temporary Limited Licensed Psychologist and Licensed Behavior Analyst specializing in treating adolescents and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). ​​Before obtaining my master's in Clinical Psychology, I have been in the field of applied behavior analysis (ABA) for over four years. During graduate school, I continued enhancing my experience by working hands-on with adolescents and adults as a behavioral technician and student therapist. Having spent thousands of hours treating adolescents and adults with ASD, I'm familiar with the lack of resources for teens and adults on the spectrum, which is what led me here!

Are you feeling out of sorts? Maybe overwhelmed, sad, down, worry too much, hurt too much, and don’t know what do to next? Or maybe you are experiencing deep grief and would like some relief from the relentless tears and sadness. Believe me you are not alone. Remembering times in my life when I did not even know what I was feeling, I felt so isolated, lost and confused. I happened to stumble upon a professional that helped me. Someone that I could trust and felt very comfortable with. I was very hesitant to take this step but somehow I did. It was by far the best thing I have ever done for myself. This is why I became a therapist.

Hello and thank you for visiting my profile page. My passion is helping people find and reclaim their inner strengths and abilities. All too often, therapy focuses on the negatives - i.e. what is going wrong with life. I believe it is just as important to figure out what is going right, and that is why we will work on two things: 1.) Lessening you or your child's suffering, and 2.) Building up self-esteem and self-reliance in the process.

One of the greatest aspect of therapy is that it helps you to grow - grow in the way you feel, grow in how you behave, grow in the way you understand yourself. The therapeutic relationship can be a vital tool for enacting the change that leads to your own growth as a human. I offer an empathetic and safe space for you to openly explore and bring to the light things that may be easier to leave in the dark. We are all unique in our experiences in this life, but the emotions left over from those experiences can be universally felt and understood. Growth and understanding are without a doubt a possibility. It only begins with you.

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.
