Person-Centered (Rogerian)

Using unconditional positive regard, I aim to create a space in which clients can speak freely and without judgment. By using Person-Centered therapy, you can be assured that you are in a safe place with someone who genuinely cares about your wellbeing. "The good life is a process, not a state of being, it is a direction, not a destination," - Carl Rogers

As a person-centered therapist, I seek to reveal to my clients their knowledge of themselves. They are the true experts on their own happiness, and the point of therapy is to help them tap into that expertise and make use of it every day, not only within the therapy hour.

You deserve to be heard, understood, and supported—without judgment. I provide a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace, helping you trust yourself and move forward with confidence.

I believe people are inherently good and can learn ways to better experience the world. You will control the topics and issues discussed in sessions and disclose issues in your own time. I have an inner compassion and a non-judgmental and accepting belief system and approach with clients. The idea is that, in sessions, you will steer the conversation toward your own self-discovery.

My therapy style and personality naturally align with the person-centered approach. The space that I create in therapy is based on the tenets of person-centered therapy including unconditional positive regard, the belief that each individual has the right and power to discover the best path for their own personal growth, and that an honest, empathic connection helps clients get in touch with and eventually embrace their most authentic selves.

We specialize in Person-Centered Therapy, creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered. This approach is client-led, focusing on self-discovery, personal growth, and emotional healing. Through empathy, unconditional support, and deep understanding, we help clients build self-confidence, resilience, and a stronger sense of self. Your journey matters, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.

A Person-Centered perspective honors your intrinsic knowledge of self, resilience, and your own ability to heal and grow.

I believe that every individual has the capacity for growth when provided with a safe, accepting space. My person-centered approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and non-judgment. You lead the process, and I offer support, insight, and curiosity to help you connect with your inner wisdom, develop self-trust, and move toward greater fulfillment.

Person-centered counseling is the basis for all the work I do with clients. I value and honor you and your lived experiences in our work together.

Person-Centered Therapy is all about you and your unique journey. Inspired by Carl Rogers' belief in your innate potential for growth and self-healing, this approach creates a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore and understand your feelings and thoughts without fear of criticism. By genuinely listening and offering unconditional positive regard, we aim to support and empower you, fostering self-acceptance and personal growth.

Person-centered therapy, also referred to as Rogerian therapy, was developed and cultivated by psychologist Carl Rogers from the 1940s through the 1980s. The aim of person-centered therapy is to facilitate a client's innate drive toward personal growth and "self-actualization." This is done by providing the conditions now generally recognized by other therapeutic methods as necessary for change, including unconditional positive regard, therapist congruence (genuineness), and empathic understanding. Rogers is quoted as having said "I can't make corn grow, but I can provide the right soil and plant it in the right area and see that it gets enough water; I can nurture it so that exciting things happen. I think that's the nature of therapy."

My practice integrates techniques influenced by Rogerian therapy. In this client-centered approach, I prioritize empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness. By fostering a supportive and nonjudgmental environment, clients feel empowered to explore their experiences and emotions openly. Through Rogerian-informed techniques, I aim to facilitate self-awareness, personal growth, and a deeper understanding of oneself.

This approach is the basis of my work with all clients. I show up as my real and genuine self each session, encouraging my clients to do the same. Non-judgment is of the utmost importance in helping my clients feel safe to share things they have never shared before. I am an empathic listener, helping my clients feel heard and understood.

You are the expert of your life. I want you to feel in control of the sessions. I have always modeled my sessions for you to guide them, I am there to help, encourage, and be the sound board you need. I never want you to feel uncomfortable or that you weren't ready to explore a topic.

I help clients by putting clients into the driver's seat in treatment and creating a non-judgmental space for clients to express concerns.

At the heart of my practice I am a person-centered clinician. It is based on the idea that the client knows what is best, and that the therapist's role is to facilitate an environment in which the client can bring about positive change. I facilitate a client through the process by listening, counseling, and allowing for the client's transformation
