Treatment Philosophy
My passion is helping individuals who have experienced trauma, abuse, loss and grief. I believe that everyone deserves love, compassion, and unconditional positive regard. You are worth fighting for and you hold the key to your happiness. I will support you and encourage you to be the best version of yourself. You are not your past. You are worthy of love. We all have the ability to learn and improve. That’s what life is all about.
You have taken the first step to obtaining happiness by seeking help. It's a challenging journey but you will find the greatest reward by putting in the work. The goal of counseling is to encourage a deeper understanding of yourself for the purpose of relieving symptoms of distress, enhancing functioning an coping, and to live authentically with a greater life satisfaction.
