Humanistic Therapy

I specialize in Humanistic Therapy because it places the individual at the center of their healing journey, emphasizing personal growth, self-awareness, and authenticity. This approach aligns with my belief that every person has the potential for positive change when provided with a supportive and empathetic environment. Humanistic Therapy values the whole person, focusing on their strengths rather than just their struggles.

You're human! I'm human! That's where we're all starting from, meaning that we're therapist and client second. So I know I'm going to mess up from time to time; I invite you to take a chance and mess up sometimes too. Let's own what happens and get into the muck together. In the meantime, I really believe in your strengths (and will highlight them A LOT), and will work SIDE-BY-SIDE with you to figure out what you need and how to get it.

Focusing on humanistic interventions allows me to provide treatment through a "whole-person" lens, taking into context how all of your life experiences have contributed to where you are today. I do my best to avoid categorizing you by a diagnosis or symptom, as everyone experiences life differently. Humanistic therapy focuses on genuine interactions between therapist and client, your strengths and resiliency, as well as how your lived experiences have impacted your current life situation.

I have a deep seated belief that people, at any given time, are genuinely doing their best which is supported, not by optimism, but by the evidence of how my clients have shown me that they live their lives. I have time and again found that focusing on personal growth while accounting for the whole person and their environment most often leads to to positive results.

My primary modality in therapy is Client Centered / Humanistic which highly values the relationship we will create together. My goal is to provide a therapeutic experience where I am curious, seeking a deep understanding of who you are, to meet you without any judgment, and to always see you as the expert of your own experience.

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.

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.

Humanistic therapy, also known as humanistic psychology, is a positive approach that emphasizes an individuals' capacity for self-determination, growth, and creativity. We focus on your unique subjective experiences and aim to help you realize your potential and achieve self-actualization.

The most important factor in therapy is the relationship between the therapist and client. This is a unique relationship and with time and patience, a trust develops that helps the work go deeper. As a therapist, I hope to become your ally - someone you can trust and with whom you can feel safe to let down your defenses to work on core issues. I create an environment of non-judgment that encourages you to share your embarrassments and shame.

We are all connected through our shared experience of being human. Getting to know ourselves is one of the most empowering and healing things we can do. I fully believe that being seen, heard, and witnessed nonjudgmentally by another human is one of the most healing experiences we can have.

I view each being as full of wisdom; holding the answers they need within themselves. I work as a support to folks to explore-- to dig deep -- and reach those answers themselves so they can live the life they desire. Looking at their experiences/individual needs, community, and place within systems to explore what their particular needs and desires are moving forward.

My theoretical approach is integrative and customized to address each individual client’s life circumstances, needs, and wishes. Client-centered and collaborative, our work together can embrace advanced evidenced-based treatments, as well as explore how the unconscious influences our behavior, with the most important detail being that it all works for you.

If you're human, chances are you have experienced some sort of angst. I see the humanistic and person-centered approaches as two sides of the same coin. As a secular humanist, my values closely align with this methodology in that I love helping my clients realize that they have everything they need to cope with reality. People often just need to be shown how to rediscover their strengths and reminded that it's ok to not be ok.

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.

Offering humanistic therapy, I help entrepreneurs connect with their authentic selves. Humanistic therapy focuses on personal growth, self-discovery, and living authentically by fostering self-awareness, self-compassion, and alignment with core values. My personalized approach empowers clients to overcome stress, self-doubt, and perfectionism while creating meaningful balance and fulfillment in their lives.

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.

At the heart of my practice is a belief in each person’s capacity for growth and self-discovery. Humanistic therapy allows me to create a warm, accepting space where clients feel heard, valued, and supported. I help individuals reconnect with their strengths, explore their authentic selves, and move toward a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Humanistic therapy is at the core of my practice. This entails safety, unconditional positive regard, and simply being empathic with my clients. This centered therapy allows me to connect with my clients on a human level and encourages vulnerability and openness.
