Your decision to engage in counseling is to be appreciated and honored as it often involves courage, commitment, vulnerability, and a willingness to embrace change. My goals is to ensure you feel heard, understood, and accepted for who you are and what you have experienced. I view my role as giving you the support, safety, care, and respect you deserve while facilitating you doing that for yourself. I will also provide cognitive, emotional, and behavioral models, "tools" and experiences to enhance your self-awareness, self-expression, and self-care; and help you learn to trust in your inherent goodness and wisdom.
Through exploration and enhanced experiences in counseling you will gain insight and clarity, and feel more connected and compassionate with yourself and others. This will allow you to better meet your personal goals, engage in healthier and caring behaviors, and obtain greater harmony and balance in your life.
I incorporate an integrative and holistic approach in my technique, recognizing that our lives consist of and are impacted by many components, including mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, social, and intellectual. I truly believe in the mind-body connection and its impact on mental health and overall wellness.
