What's My Approach to Therapy?
As a clinical practitioner, my background and work are holistic in that I work with and integrate mind, body, and soul. I follow a medical model when necessary, and yet, once we get to the heart of the matter, the question becomes: What does the soul want? I am passionate about the work of discovering the self. I believe that trauma is often our greatest catalyst for transformation. I see meaning in every aspect of life, and I value all relationships as vehicles for spiritual growth.
While I hold this meaningful perspective, it does not escape me that as trauma survivors and people suffering in the state of today, we do not always start there. The process of discovering who one truly is and stepping into one's own light, as well as spiritual growth, really only begins after the crises have been stabilized and the traumas have begun to release from the body.
My ultimate goal with my clients is to get far past surviving. I want them to thrive—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
