Philosophy and Approach to Counseling:

Trauma can be healed- Restored to health or soundness, cure, to ease or relieve, to experience relief from emotional distress.  Anxiety, distress, and trauma symptoms are a normal response to an abnormal event. They are the bodies’ way of communicating that something is wrong and needs care. Intervention can help restore thoughts, emotions, belief systems, and behavior to be restored in health. This healing can be possible with the understanding of trauma effects on the brain and synergistic connections to cognitive, physical, psychological, physiological, and spiritual (values) intervention and integration. Treatment phases include safety, symptom relief, exploring memory retrieval, facing the truth about the past, present and major issues of the present, relationships, reclaiming the body, and recreating a new normal.

  Practice includes trauma-informed and trauma-responsive care, Attachment-focused on the relationships and bonds between people. An Attachment-Based approach can be used in individual, family, couple, and group therapy, with both children and adults, to helps clients mend or recover from fractured family relationships; Spiritual Integration and religious values can play a major part in human life, spiritual values should be viewed as a potential resource in therapy rather than as something to be ignored. During the assessment process, it can be ascertained how certain beliefs and practices of the client can be a useful focal point for exploration; Evidence-Based practice is the integration of the best available research with clinical expertise in the context of patient characteristics, culture, and preferences.

I have thirty-eight (38) years of experience working in mental health and social service systems. My passion is working with foster and adoptive families, though I work with traumatized children of all family compositions. I help parents become the agent for healing in their children’s life. Family involvement is crucial in the therapeutic process along with a team approach with systems of care collaboration.
