Psychotherapy, Consultation, Health & Wellness Coaching

The Centre for Human Flourishing LLC is dedicated to emotional health, wellness and healing. I aim to empower you to become your best self — to Flourish as a human being; the ancient Greeks called this state of being eudaimonia.

I work with individuals, couples, & families with a focus on humane ways of attending to, understanding, and caring for the whole person: mind, body, & spirit. I offer is a special kind of collaborative relationship in which reason, language and human presence are the tools for healing, growth, development, maturity, health & wellness.

I also use the MBTI® assessment as a tool for the acquisition of insight when working with individuals, couples, and/or organizations to build an understanding of strengths and blind spots, and communication challenges. The MBTI® assessment helps people understand how they might differ from one another. And is valuable for individuals and teams as they tackle such challenges as communication, conflict management, leadership change, decision-making, and leadership development.

A Classical Psychotherapeutic Perspective

Therapy is thought of as a tool for personal development | empowerment, and improving the quality of one’s life rather than a medical intervention for illness. It is a process that draws from introspection, emphasizes subjective experience, promotes self-expression, self-actualization, and affirms the human capacity for conscious choice and growth. As autonomous beings, we are capable of overcoming distortions caused by social conditions or lack of information.

Holistic Perspective

Health and wellness from a holistic perspective means living in such a way that you minimize the risk of illness.  It is a way of living that emphasizes good relationships with other people and with the environment, and that shows concern about what foods and drugs you put in your body. It is a philosophy of living that promotes healthy lifestyle practices as the way to health, happiness, & human flourishing.

Personal Style

I utilize various approaches depending on the problems you hope to address, who you are as a person, and relevant history. Psychotherapy requires your active participation, openness, and honesty in order to be effective. The nature of the work is collaborative; therapy is a collaborative endeavor. I will be your advocate and mentor who may challenge some of your assumptions or perceptions or propose different ways of thinking about or handling situations that may cause you to feel upset, angry, or disappointed. The process demands a willingness to experience emotional discomfort for the sake of dealing with reality effectively.
