Therapist Profile

My Approach to Helping

I believe that the start of change is through self-awareness. Being aware of triggers from past wounds will assist clients at a conscious level explore an understanding and awareness of what is occurring at their subconscious level. It can be helpful for clients to see their challenges from the emotional patterns (how depression and anxiety is dealt with, how conflict is resolved, how close or distant relationships are, ect.) in their family. A family map/?family tree? is included in the service and will assist in guiding the client with a visual representation to see any patterns that are repeating itself and create awareness of triggers from past wounds that have been transmitted for 3 to 4 generations. Your positive and negative thoughts that stem from childhood have some control on your perceptions and your behavior, thus, can at times become self-defeating towards yourself and influential towards your relationships with others. My role as a therapist is to guide the client into having richer relationships with his/herself and others in a safe, confidential, non-critical and non-judgmental environment. I work from different modalities depending on which are beneficial to the client and the clients preference. These modalities and interventions include, but not limited to: Bowen Family Systems Theory, Cognitive-Behavioral Theory, Structural Theory, Non-Theory based, Christian Counseling, Non-religious based, ect.
