Beliefs:
Love never fails
I believe Clients - homeless individuals, Youth, and their families deserved to have a second chance in life, and that chance is having home stability and love (emotional security). A home makes a human being feel safe and loved. I believe empathy, unconditional positive regards, and genuineness with faith are important foundational values, and that we all deserve to be loved, prosperous, balanced and happy in life.
Therapy Approach:
Motivational Interviewing "MI" is an evidence-based approach, derived from William R. Miller, Stephen Rollnick, and the Client-Centered Therapy by Carl Rogers, with empathy, genuineness, unconditional positive regards, and faith serving as the foundation. In addition, the Family System Theory, derived from Kerr and Bowen in 1988, is an approach for family and couples/marriage cohesion through modeling the community system.

I believe that every person can succeed and reach their goals. These goals are defined by that person and their destiny is in their hands. Obstacles are everywhere but with help from others a person can succeed.
Therapy Approach:
My therapeutic approach is a person centered, wholistic plan to help drive change and maintain gains made. Initially, I focus on Cognitive techniques to eliminate distortions in thinking that limit change. I also use solution focused to assist in discovering strengths so that the individual can build on their previous and future success. Ultimately, a mindful, focused journey to grounding helps to maintain confidence.
This approach is an eclectic and adapted to individual needs. I always work to be present and predictable in my work with individuals and families seeking change and ultimately happiness.

I have an intense belief that every person has the ability to change- this allows me to stay steadfast in my efforts to help others What I do well.
