My counseling philosophy is based on the empathic understanding of the individual's circumstances and challenges impacting their functioning in life.
I believe that insight, working in the "here and now, " addressing short and long-term goals, and acquiring healthy coping mechanisms are crucial to overcome emotional distress and acquire emotional growth.
My philosophy as a therapist is that the clients are the EXPERTS and that the therapist is the one that follows the clients' lead helping them to understand and solve in a healthy way their inner struggles and conflicts.
