My Philosophy

I believe there is a spiritual solution to every problem. I also believe we are spiritual beings having a temporary human experience. I work with every person as a whole spiritual being addressing the mind, body and soul. I use visualization, affirmation, deep-breathing and relaxation exercises, role-playing and journaling as part of my treatment with a strong foundation from the Strengths-Based Theory with a Cognitive Behavioral Therapeutic approach.

Einstein said, “ We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” So we must learn new ways of thinking to be able to respond in a more proactive way. However, when coping skills are compromised by guilt, resentment, low self-esteem, or anxiety, counseling and/or life coaching can empower you to take the next step to make changes in your life.

The process is a partnership between us. I provide support and ask the sometimes difficult questions to help you gain new perspective to improve problem-solving skills, resolve childhood issues, bereavement, spiritual conflicts, stress management, body image issues, and creative blocks. If you are seeking guidance and you are willing to take responsibility for your thoughts and behaviors, then you are committed to cultivating a deeper level of self-awareness and self-discovery. Self-acceptance becomes the goal to realizing and living your highest potential.

How Often Will I Work With You?

Most clients come weekly. You and I will decide together how often and how long you will continue therapy. This may range from a few sessions to longer-term therapy (over a year), depending on your history, experiences and goals.
