My Counseling Philosophy

---

I believe that we are all still evolving. As we begin the process of becoming the best version of ourselves, we must practice being patient and gentle with ourselves. I view therapy as an opportunity for clients to become empowered, visible, and to find and own their voice while standing in their truth. I offer support to my clients as they navigate the uncertainties of life. I often say that, “the pressures of life can become overwhelming and unbearable and should not be faced alone.” 

Counseling equips individuals with essential tools to address and alleviate mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, and trauma. It also offers strategies for developing effective coping skills to promote self-soothing. I have seen numerous clients gain empowerment to lead healthier, more fulfilled lives after finding a safe and non-judgmental environment to share their unique experiences. 

As a therapist, I strive to offer my clients the best practices available. I utilize various interventions and evidence-based methods tailored to suit each client’s individual needs. I am purposeful in partnering with my clients, recognizing that they are the experts in their own lives. I am dedicated, thoughtful, and compassionate in advocating for my clients to ensure their desires and needs are fulfilled. I serve individuals, couples, and families who have acknowledged experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, as well as different forms of trauma. It is a privilege for me to accompany my clients on their journey, and I thoroughly appreciate our therapeutic relationship. 

Remember, you don’t have to shoulder the burden of learning to grieve for a lost loved one alone. You also don’t need to isolate yourself or suppress the pain linked to unhealthy relationships, childhood trauma, unexpected medical diagnoses, or feelings of powerlessness and hopelessness from spiritual abuse or passive workplace bullying and harassment.
