Approach to Therapy:
———————————————-
Within my therapeutic work I utilize a systemic approach in treatment of individual, couples and families of all ages, meaning I explore the identified concerns in terms of relationships and social environments. I focus on creating culturally responsive strength-based, collaborative, and accountable partnerships with my clients and their support system. I rely on the understanding that my client’s truths are their experience which, make their experiences real and strong evidence as to how their story got to be what it is today. Rather than playing the expert and objectively prescribing client’s motives, needs, drives, ego strengths, or personality characteristics; I aim to collaborate with patients giving what they have to say equal privilege, and helping them to consider alternative stories. I help my clients identify their own strengths and wisdom to make positive change, and treatment is always customized to meet their unique needs. I recognize wellness is more than the absence of disease; it is a state of optimal well-being. It goes beyond the curing of illness to achieving health. Through the ongoing integration of our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual self, each person has the opportunity to create and preserve a whole and happy life. I aim to provide clients an integrated solution for their mind, body, spirit, and life to enhance their lives and resolve issues.
