I believe that every individual possesses innate strengths, resilience, and the capacity for growth, healing, and self-discovery. I see counseling as a collaborative and empowering process that helps clients tap into their internal resources to create meaningful change in their lives. My approach is rooted in the conviction that clients are the experts of their own experiences, and my role is to serve as a compassionate, ethical, and culturally responsive facilitator who provides a safe

and supportive environment for exploration and growth.

​

Informed by Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), I emphasize the importance of focusing on clients' strengths, goals, and solutions rather than problems. I believe that clients have the capacity to envision a preferred future and that small, achievable steps can lead to significant change. My goal is to help clients identify their existing resources and

develop practical strategies that promote hope, resilience, and self-efficacy.

​

Additionally, I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles, which emphasize psychological flexibility, mindfulness, and values-driven action. I believe that accepting difficult thoughts and feelings without judgment allows clients to reduce their struggle with internal experiences and focus on committed action aligned with their core values. I see ACT as a powerful approach to help clients cultivate presence, acceptance, and meaningful engagement

with life, even in the face of adversity.

​

Throughout my counseling practice, I am committed to practicing from a culturally responsive perspective, understanding the unique contexts of each client’s background, environment, and worldview. I view counseling as a dynamic, ongoing process that involves self-reflection, professional growth, and adherence to ethical standards. I am dedicated to fostering a therapeutic space grounded in empathy, authenticity, and social justice, where clients feel validated and empowered to achieve their goals.

Ultimately, I see my role as a facilitator of change—helping clients recognize their strengths, accept their internal experiences, and take meaningful steps toward a fulfilling and authentic life. My commitment is to continue developing my skills in solution-focused and ACT approaches, ensuring my practice remains ethical, effective, and responsive to the diverse needs of those I serve.
