Philosophy of Counseling

I recognize the value in every human being and do my best to have every client not only reach the goals they want, but to thrive in life.

Each of us is a multilevel being; biological, psychological, cognitive, relational, emotional, energetic, and spiritual.  These levels influence each other.  We all know that if you are in discomfort in any way that it will influence your mood.   The point of cause for the reason a person seeks treatment could be on any of the aforementioned levels.  This is why a therapist needs to address the various levels in each client.

Working from the simple to the complex, the client is able to address their needs and improve their life.

To recognize the unique abilities in each person and work to bring out the best in everyone. The client is given tools with which they can work to improve their lives in their own way.  In counseling, I not only share skills you need to improve your life in the way you want, but reveal the very processes by which this can be accomplished.  Increasingly, you take control of your own process of self improvement.

As the cause of the problem can be completely different from person to person, so too are the solutions. By considering all the possible factors, your problem can be addressed with an attainable solution that is unique to you.
