I cultivate a safe and open space where clients feel heard and understood without fear of judgment. My approach draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Existential/Experiential learning, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, helping clients understand their experiences holistically. By considering the full perspective of an individual, I guide them in identifying areas for growth and overcoming obstacles that may hinder progress. My goal is to foster deeper self-awareness, empowering clients to take meaningful steps toward personal fulfillment.
I use REBT to help clients identify and challenge irrational beliefs, fostering emotional resilience and healthier thought patterns. By guiding individuals to gain self-awareness, I support them in developing more constructive ways to cope with life’s challenges.
For clients who seek a spiritual perspective, I incorporate faith-based elements into therapy. I provide a safe space for individuals to explore their beliefs, using them as a foundation for healing and personal growth.
I focus on empowering clients by emphasizing their inherent strengths and capabilities. By helping individuals recognize their personal assets, I encourage confidence and resilience, enabling them to navigate challenges effectively.
My existential approach centers on deep self-reflection, guiding clients to explore meaning, purpose, and personal responsibility. I help individuals address concerns related to identity, freedom, and life transitions, fostering greater self-understanding.
I combine various therapeutic methods to create a holistic and personalized experience. My approach is tailored to each client’s unique needs, ensuring comprehensive care that supports the whole person.
