Humanistic Therapy

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.

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.

From a humanistic lens, I believe that people are fundamentally good and doing the best they can to live happy and healthy lives. Reducing distress often includes building awareness about yourself, your identity, and who you want to be. It is important to restore your trust in yourself, your wisdom, and your ability to heal from within.

Humanistic Therapy takes a whole person approach to healing and self growth; looking an individuals social, physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.

As a humanistic therapist, I help guide clients toward aligning their identities with their inner desires and potential. I want my clients to receive the greatest possible fulfillment from their lives.

Humanistic therapy emphasizes the importance of being your true self in order to lead the most fulfilling life. It’s based on the principle that everyone has their own unique way of looking at and relating to the world. This view can impact your choices and actions. Humanistic therapy also involves a core belief that people are good at heart and capable of making the right choices for themselves. If you don’t hold yourself in high regard, it’s harder to develop your full potential.

As a humanistic therapist, I excel in creating a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your feelings and experiences. My expertise lies in fostering self-actualization and personal growth by emphasizing your inherent potential and strengths. Through techniques such as active listening and unconditional positive regard, I support you in discovering your true self and achieving greater fulfillment and well-being.

I will always remain firm in my belief that my clients are the experts in their lives and have the potential to reach their goals. I work from a perspective that fuels empowerment and radical self love.

I primarily operate from a humanistic approach in which healthy human connection is at the core of wellness.

I am a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator; this helps me support my clients around topics such as vulnerability, courage, shame, and worthiness. The work invites people to examine the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that are holding them back and identify the new choices and practices that will move them toward more authentic and wholehearted living. The primary focus is on developing shame resilience skills and developing daily practices that transform the way we live, love, parent, and lead.

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.

Therapy focuses on the whole person and not just what has occurred. I work collaboratively and look at the client through holistically and how they are coping; emotionally, physically, socially and spiritually.

Humanistic/Person-Centered Therapy is based on the belief that we each have the capacity to grow and self-actualize, when provided with a supportive environment. To create a safe and supportive therapeutic space, I listen with empathy and unconditional positive regard, believing that you are the expert on your own life. I also strive to create a space that is free of judgment, in which we both can be authentic in our expression, and where you can find answers that are true to you.

People want to reach their potential and become self-actualized. This therapy style is more about the person doing the therapy than the techniques. Clinicians who practice humanistic therapy generally follow Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow's principle of person-centered therapy. It is a positive approach and focuses on the here and now of a person's life.

Humanistic therapy focuses on the here and now. The humanistic therapist provides a space of warmth, empathy, and acceptance to meet the client where they are at. In humanistic therapy, there is no power dynamic and we are both equals exploring these issues collaboratively. We may explore different issues in life including freedom, death, isolation, and meaninglessness.

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.

My Master's Degree is from a psychology program that specialized in Humanistic Therapy.

Once complicated feminine experience came to light, terms like ‘objective’ began to define what experience was real & good. Well-being was about some kind of transcendence only available to those who already had safety & freedom. Too many folx have neither. They reach their potential here in the muck of daily life & would flourish in the absence of oppression. My humanistic lens finds the truth of subjective experience for Whole-people-in-context that are unique, inherently good, & autonomous.

Humanistic therapy forms the foundation of our work. I use humanistic therapy interventions to create a safe and supportive space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Through this collaborative process, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself, your values, and your potential. You'll be empowered to make choices that align with your authentic self.
