Counseling Philosophy
Hello! I want to start by saying Thank you! Thank you for visting, Thank you for booking and Thank you for supporting my business and my dream.
You will soon find out that my approach to counseling is different from previous therapists. I'm a huge fan of identifying the ROOT of your problem versus just talking about the problems you have. You see, the truth is that much of who you are is stored in your unconcious mind and if you're trying to change or heal something about your past, it isn't going to get resolved by talking to your conscious mind.
I'm Upfront, Intuitive and Completely Real with everyone. I am on YOUR TEAM and I will always suppoort what is in your highest good.
I work well with clients who want to TRANSFORM, CHANGE AND UNCOVER THEIR TRUE SELVES. I do very well with Couples who are invested in their marriages and READY to do it differently. If this is you, then chances are we are going to do wonderful things in therapy.
I am well versed in a variety of theoretical models which include: CBT, Psychodynamic, Solution-Focused, Narrative, Gestalt, Symbolic-Exeriential and Spiritual approaches.
