I believe humans are capable of incredible resiliencies and have the full capacity to achieve positive change in their lives. By taking a step towards achieving wellness, you have found yourself looking into counseling. Congratulations, this is a big step! Still, to maintain wellness, we continuously participate in what allows us to be well. It is the obligation of the client to truly participate, both in session and in real life, to reap the full benefit of any therapy or practice.
My approach combines several evidence-based therapeutic interventions primarily centered on humanistic principles, emotion-centered, and strength-based. I incorporate concepts such as mindfulness, acceptance, challenging perception, learning to work with, not against, emotions, and uncovering meaning and values.
I believe I bring authenticity to sessions. I believe in the positive effect of university or the humanness of life's experience.
