Our thoughts, emotions, and sensations aren't just experienced in our minds; they are experienced in our bodies. When we become disconnected from our emotions and sensations due to things like stress, trauma, or shame, it can leave us feeling "stuck" and unable to truly thrive. The weight of our past experiences can make it difficult to move forward in life. I help clients strengthen their mind-body connection and tap into their own inner knowing to facilitate meaningful change and healing.

Do you often put on a smile and act as though everything is OK? Do you put everyone else first and often feel like you are pouring from an empty cup? If so, my guess is that you often feel depleted, anxious, and stressed. You have likely tried many things to feel better, but can’t quite get the relief you so badly want. If this sounds like you, I want you to know that you can improve and I help people just like you. Clients most often seek me out to help them address chronic anxiety/stress, "big or small” distressing events/trauma, and problems in relationships.

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.
