Mind Body Spirit Psychology - My philosophy is based on a Holistic approach - built upon the belief that our mind, body and spirit all interact to create our vitality, passion and purpose. To heal one part, we must acknowledge all three. Through counseling, you can overcome life's challenges, survive difficult events, and experience a vital, joyful, productive life. I believe that it is vital to obtain balance physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually in order to create the desired change. This whole body change creates a better chance at good mental health.
