Philosophy

I identify with the eclectic model of therapy that incorporates different techniques to best address the client’s particular concerns and uses that which appeals to them most. 

My approach is person-centered, humanistic and existential along the mind-body-spirit journey. I am a trauma informed therapist that understands and addresses the physical, psychological, and emotional safety necessary in order to rebuild opportunities for clients to regain a sense of control, empowerment and healing. I also utilize traditional methods of therapy such as short-term solution focused, Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT), positive psychology approaches, mindfulness based, transpersonal models and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) among others.

Clients often describe me has having a heartfelt and authentic style that is combined with a keen intuitive ability to provide an approach that is holistic, optimistic and wellness-oriented by focusing on the mind, body and spirit. These combined elements foster a respectful, inclusive and safe environment by treating all individuals inclusively with dignity, integrity and ethical standards. I welcome and embrace all diverse cultures, genders and sexual orientations. 

While working collaboratively with me, the client learns to focus on their strengths so they may grow, heal and transform their lives. This type of self-empowerment allows one to truly accept and appreciate their genuine nature in order to thrive.
