A few years ago I read a joke: "Fish don't know they're in the water". The scenario is that Fish Number One asks Fish Number Two, "How's the water?" Fish Number Two responds, "What the hell is water?". The fish who is "in" the situation (hence the water) does not even realize its surrounding. What surrounds you is only normal because it's what you know. I got another one that I recently came across: "We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are." This, references to dream analysis but it basically mean that our preconceptions can dramatically alter the way we perceive the world. (Quote by writer Anais Nin).
I am interested in individuals best hopes for themselves. I also care about how diversity and cultural factors are embodied in living our best life. We tend to ignore cultural factors and let negativity invade our interactions. I have a special interest in working with people from different backgrounds, including nationalities, age groups, and/or ethnicity.
I offer evidence-based treatment for mental health and real-world problems that one may experience. I require of myself to be very client-oriented as I practice Solution Focused Brief Therapy as a psychotherapist. I use the best professional judgment when helping clients heal, grow, cope, and understand themselves better via transformational conversations.
