Personal Philosophy on Counseling
My approach has evolved out of seventeen years of working with individuals and couples. It is based on the premise that each person has both an innate tendency to move toward health and wholeness, and the inner capacity to achieve it. I view my work with you as a privilege and encourage you to be an active participant in your counseling experience. I feel humbled in being able to serve as a guide in this process as I work with the very personal problems of individuals and couples.
Since not all modalities of treatment are appropriate for every client, I have learned to tailor therapy to the individual. I usually blend traditional talk therapy with alternative approaches including Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Thought Field Therapy (TFT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR Level II) and Clinical Hypnotherapy.
