About
I believe that my role as a counselor is to assist others become congruent to their truth and find their own path. I focus on client strengths, and create a safe and supportive environment for insight and transformation to occur. I see myself as an empathic and intuitive listener, as well as a direct communicator. I can tell it as I see it, with tact and humor but I am also gentle and sensible. I find creative ways to challenge the barriers clients may encounter in their life journey. I believe in personal responsibility, and I see the counseling process as an active and collaborative one. I truly believe in a mind body connection. I use an Integrative approach to therapy (EMDR, internal Family Systems, Ego Psychology, Hypnotherapy, ACT). I am a certified Vibrational Therapy Practitioner which I use in conjunction with mindfulness and meditation. I practice QiGong and I see breath work as primordial to our existence. I approach counseling from a multicultural perspective. I find that identity, family of origin, group affiliations, and systemic culture, can all contribute positively or negatively to our life experiences. I am also aware of how oppression and community violence can affect our lives as I have worked for many years with the homeless population in Chicago.
