OBJECTIVE:
To provide professional support and therapeutic interventions in a
nonjudgmental and respectful counseling environment.
COUNSELING PHILOSOPHY:
My counseling philosophy is person centered, holistic and existential. I
believe that - life is a process of moving towards wholeness. Our
brokenness is the basic human dilemma and each person’s story is unique.
It is because of this uniqueness that we all encounter different paths.
Counseling involves many paths also - from cognitive, behavioral,
humanistic to psychodynamic - and all are essential in meeting the client
“where they are” and in helping them to move forward.
