Counseling Philosophy

With two decades of experience in education, counseling, and mental health, I have helped individuals, families, and communities navigate their challenges and embrace their potential. My practice is rooted in the belief that everyone has inherent strengths and the capacity for change. I believe that physical, mental, and spiritual health are interconnected. Each aspect influences and enhances the others to create a holistic sense of well-being. By focusing on a strength-based and solution-focused approach, I aim to empower you to overcome obstacles and achieve your goals.

 

I hold a PhD in Counseling Education and Supervision and two master’s degrees in counseling and education. My background includes roles as a parenting coach, school-based therapist, crisis counselor, and school counselor, allowing me to support individuals across various stages of life.
