My approach is based on core values, including unwavering patience and deep respect for individuals and their families' unique perspectives and experiences. I prioritized patients' autonomy while engaging clients through motivational interviewing and practicing reflective listening to understand their needs and feelings in meeting and supporting them where they are.
I often create an inclusive and supportive environment that fosters an unbiased therapeutic relationship, encouraging individuals to verbalize, feel valued, and be understood. This approach ensures an approximate value of 100% engagement in all my interactions with clients.
I always aimed to promote holistic well-being and empowerment, guiding my clients toward a healthier and happier life.
