Humanistic Therapy

My approach is grounded in the humanistic belief that each person contains the potential for growth and development. When you are in therapy with me, you get to set the agenda for each session, and my focus is on helping you be the version of yourself that you want - not what others want for you.

I fundamentally believe that we are all capable of change and personal growth, if given the right conditions to thrive. My role is not to pass judgment, but to question and explore with curiosity, and perhaps bring a new perspective. I use a mix of mindfulness and emotion-focused strategies, gentle-but-honest perspectives, a little humor, and a lot of grace. My approach is flexible and my goal is to meet you exactly where you are.

As a person-centered therapist I approach my work with clients by fostering a therapeutic enviornment. By providing clients with unconditional positive regard, emotional congruence, and empathy, the space for change is created. Working with clients in a collaborative manner I strive to help them develop congruence that better fits their own personal narrative.

Through a humanistic lens, my sessions tend to be less-structured and focused more on supporting and understanding you without any judgment.

I integrate humanistic theories into treatment often.

In my therapeutic practice, Humanistic Therapy serves as a guiding philosophy, placing paramount importance on the unique experiences and innate potential of each individual. Rooted in empathy, authenticity, and the belief in personal growth, this approach creates a therapeutic alliance where clients feel genuinely seen and understood.

My goal is to consider the whole person, especially your positive characteristics and potential for growth, not only from my professional perspective but from a your own personal sense of behavior. The emphasis in my sessions is on your positive traits and behaviors and developing your ability to use your instincts to find wisdom, growth, healing, and fulfillment within yourself.

I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and would like to partner with you in seeking solutions to your life's problems. We all have unique strengths and talents we can tap into in order to improve our lives.

Humanistic therapy encompasses a few types specialized techniques that are evidence based and support patients in naturally progressing towards wellness.

One of the primary modes of therapy I use is humanistic therapy, which places a strong emphasis on your capacity for self-awareness, self-determination, and personal agency, aiming to facilitate a journey of self-discovery and self-actualization. This therapy is patient-centered, and I focus on you as a whole person, considering your subjective experiences, feelings, and unique perspectives.

Also known as humanism, humanistic therapy is a positive approach to psychotherapy that focuses on a person’s individual nature, rather than categorizing groups of people with similar characteristics as having the same problems. Humanistic therapy looks at the whole person, not only from the therapist’s view but from the viewpoint of individuals observing their own behavior. The emphasis is on a person’s positive traits and behaviors, and the ability to use their personal instincts to find wisdo

The most important factor for people achieving their goals in therapy is client-therapist match. I embrace Humanistic Therapy's tenets of empathy and honesty. The therapist is not the "expert" in the client's life, rather, the client has all the power within them to change. The job of the therapist is to act as a compassionate coach, challenging the client, and at the same time being real and authentic.

As a therapist, I use humanistic therapy to empower my clients, focusing on their individual experiences and potential for growth. I provide a supportive and empathetic environment where clients can explore their feelings openly. By emphasizing self-discovery and personal insight, I help clients understand their true self-worth and develop a stronger sense of autonomy. This approach fosters deep personal growth and meaningful change, allowing clients to lead more fulfilled and authentic lives.

I believe the client is the expert on themself, and I am here to support their own process. I can provide resources along the way, but I don't have the "answers"--you have them within yourself already.

A foundation of humanistic therapy is recognizing the potential of each individual and helping them to actualize this. Everyone, at times, struggles in actualizing their potential. Roadblocks to personal growth often lead to anxiety, doubt, insecurity, and depression. Self-awareness, self-acceptance, and growth toward actualizing one's potential are important components of overcoming a variety of personal, emotional, ad relational problems.

I see therapy as a partnership between the client and the counselor. I believe you are the expert on yourself, and I provide an empathetic, non-judgmental environment, as well as an eclectic variety of philosophies and tactics for you to explore to determine what is best for you.
