Some clients may need guidance in crisis, adjustment or life transitions, psychoeducation, family dynamics, trauma, identity related issues, gender identity, skill building, motivation, autonomy etc. The needs of the client may vary from time to time. Often times most people strive for wellness and happiness while navigating cultural as well as social systems within the world around them. One might ask questions. What are my personal values? Or how do I make changes to improve my mental health? Needs as well as individual skills may vary from individual to individual.
My clinical interests are most demonstrated by Person-Centered, Humanistic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Play Therapy, Mindfulness Based practices and Experiential Counseling Styles. My philosophical approach is influenced by a Humanistic and or positive therapeutic approach while providing directed guidance and interventions.
I want my clients to know that the ideal client(s) in any situation is any individual and or group in need of assistance and mental health support. Also, I support social advocacy as well as psychoeducation. Asking for help is the first big step and turning point. I invite clients to be curious and creative. This is a safe space.
