What To Expect
My therapeutic orientation draws from the following beliefs on the role of the therapeutic relationship, rapport-building, how the client shows up to therapy and their ability to problem-solve and heal!
People are seekers who wish to find meaning and purpose in life.
People wish to live a life of inner and shared peace
People are eager to receive nonjudgmental care
People desire to be integrated into an experience with a sense of unity and harmony in the universe and the forces of nature.
Drawn from the work of Carl Rogers, “ The Way of Being” in Part IV: Looking Ahead: A Person- Centered Scenario.
Practicing New Behaviors
Client must learn new behaviors in all relevant contexts. Clients want to improve and are doing the best they can.
Lowering or Raising Emotional Arousal
Clients lives can be unbearable. The therapeutic relationship is a real relationship between equals,
Activating Expectations and Motivations
Clients need to be motivated to change and can solve them despite their role in causing them.
