Approach 

My work is grounded in a person-centered orientation, using a calm and steady presence as the basis for therapeutic orientation. I position myself beside my clients rather than directing them, relying on reflection, attuned observation, and attention to bodily cues to support their internal process. I maintain a witnessing stance rather than a corrective one, where I can create conditions in which clients can access their own resources and move at their own pace. This approach prioritizes safety and regulation as the foundation for deeper work, emphasizing the client’s autonomy and inherent capacity for growth. It also maintains a consistent focus on present-moment experience as the primary source of therapeutic information.

My treatment plan approach is grounded in a person-centered framework within the lens of humanistic psychology. This approach aligns with a humanistic understanding of growth and self-actualization, as described in Toward a Psychology of Being by Abraham H. Maslow, who emphasized the individual’s capacity for meaning-making, resilience, and the realization of human potential.

I prioritize establishing safety and regulation before engaging in deeper work. I track bodily cues and use them as indicators of readiness, pacing, and progress. Interventions focus on reflection, attuned observation, and maintaining a steady therapeutic presence rather than directing or prescribing. Goals are developed collaboratively based on the client’s stated needs and internal process, and are adjusted as their capacity and insight evolve. The treatment plan remains flexible, allowing the client’s moment-to-moment experience to guide the direction and depth of the work.
