Therapists » Licensed Professional Counselor
The clinical approach I use to counseling is targeted to attend my client's needs. My preference is the Psychodynamic approach where the client and I explore the origins of their psychological discomfort and use the insights to the healing process incorporating changes in the present. Some clients however come to counseling with a sense of urgency, a need to work objectively in a specific problem with the aim of a faster solution focused to their crisis, and in these cases I support and stay present with the client's needs. I create a non-threatening atmosphere for the therapeutic process. Respecting the client's pace I work with the client's empowerment, exploration of choices, congruence of feelings and behavior, exploration of creative ways, stress reduction, coping skills, awareness of personal needs/self care and finding meaning in their experiences. I experience psychological healing, besides traditional psychotherapy, practicing authentic movement, meditation, yoga, writing, dancing as a celebration of joy, working on my dreams and staying in touch with my inner wisdom. I offer these services as classes as well as tailoring them to individual sessions at the client's request.
