Counseling Philosophy: I use a holistic, feminist, humanistic approach to counseling. The holistic approach addresses the mind/body/spirit connection and recognizes that connection as central to the healing process. The feminist therapy model embraces an egalitarian relationship between therapist/client and encourages feedback and interaction. A humanistic approach recognizes that each client has all the answers within themselves, and a therapists role is to help the client connect with that wise part of self and access those answers. The therapist also provides psycho-education and support, and teaches new coping skills and resources. I am committed to providing each client with the safety, guidance and support necessary for recovery.
