My Approach to Helping
In my counseling approach I use an eclectic approach, tailored to the individual and to address the holistic needs of the individual. My approaches can draw from Gestalt therapy, Mindfulness, CBT, Systems theory, Psychoanalytic therapy, Existential therapy, trauma informed theories, in addition to strength based approaches and motivational interviewing. I’m also known to use bits of humor as well. My training largely comes from a medical model via Palliative care (not to be confused with Hospice care), which is a medical specialty that looks to put chronic illness and treatment in the lens of considering the whole patient. Palliative care teams are comprised of both medical physicians as well as social workers, counselors and chaplains (of the client’s faith) to focus on the holistic care of a patient- physical, mental and spiritual. It is from this training and approach that I have modeled my clinical approach, considering the holistic person.
