Not only do you have a soul, you are SOUL. You are the LIGHT WITHIN, shining through the prism known as the self!
What is the LIGHT WITHIN trying to tell you? My role is to help you listen, the first step toward greater freedom.
My treatment philosophy is one that combines humanistic values and CBT in helping patients to overcome their symptoms and emotional distress, so they can lead a more fullfilling life. I also help clients with underlying issues/personal styles of responding to situations that are dysfunctional.
Psychotherapy (or counseling) is talking with a trained professional about your fears, concerns, behaviors, desires and dreams. My goal is to help you better understand yourself. You may seek treatment with me because you have been given a specific mental health diagnosis. Or you may seek treatment because you would like help dealing with a specific challenge such as job dissatisfaction or difficulty finding a partner.
During a psychotherapy session, you will learn more about your behaviors, your thoughts and your feelings. Psychotherapy allows you to understand and take control of your life through new knowledge and coping skills.
