Therapy can be a vulnerable thing to step into—especially if you’ve spent a long time feeling misunderstood, dismissed, or like you’ve had to shrink (pun intended) parts of yourself just to get by. That’s why the foundation of my work is simple, but powerful: you get to come exactly as you are.
My approach is grounded in Person-Centered Therapy, a form of humanistic therapy developed by Carl Rogers. What this means, in practice, is that I believe deeply in your inner wisdom—even if it’s hard to access right now. You are the expert on your life. My role is not to fix, analyze, or direct you, but to walk beside you with curiosity, warmth, and unconditional positive regard.
This kind of therapy isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level advice. It’s about creating a space where you can begin to hear yourself more clearly. When we feel genuinely accepted, when we’re not being judged, rushed, or pushed to be someone we’re not, something powerful happens. Our defenses begin to soften. Our stuck places begin to move. And we start to trust our own voice again.
In our work together, I hold the relationship at the center. I’ll be real with you. I’ll meet you with presence. And I’ll honor whatever parts of you show up whether they’re tender, guarded, messy, or unsure. You don’t need to perform or be “healed” to be worthy of care. You already are.
Person-centered therapy isn’t about finding all the answers right away. It’s about discovering what happens when you finally have the space to ask your own questions and feel safe enough to listen for the answers. This approach invites growth not through pressure, but through permission. Permission to be honest. To be seen. To be whole.
If you’re looking for a space where you’re not just heard, but truly understood, where you don’t have to explain why something matters in order for it to matter, this is the kind of work I love to do. It’s gentle, but it goes deep. And you don’t have to do it alone.
