Have you ever been to therapy and felt that it was a total waste of time? Have you ever talked to a therapist and felt that they did not get you at all? I have been in your shoes, and I know how it feels. A therapeutic relationship is most effective when you work with a therapist who you feel comfortable with and trust. I offer a practical approach to counseling – something that is simple enough to understand, easy enough to apply right away in your everyday life and give you immediate results. I am so confident that my approach will work for you that I offer you a Money-Back-Guarantee policy. If you are not satisfied with any of your sessions, I will refund your fee (minus the administration fee of $20). My counselling is a full-service approach. I want to take care of you even after our sessions. I want to share something that you can use for the rest of your life. Let me help you utilize new skills, experience happiness, and find exciting ways to enjoy a newfound hope in life.

I have always been searching for a practical approach to counseling – something that is simple enough to understand, easy enough to apply right away in your everyday life and give you immediate results. Because oftentimes, counselling tools and techniques sound good on paper, but your mind will say: “This is something good, but it’s not who I am. I’m never gonna be able to do it.” I realize that for it to work, it has to click. When you don’t just understand it, but feel it and connect it with your emotion, it makes a world of difference. Knowledge is potential power. You need to find a big enough leverage to apply that knowledge into your life. And that’s when you discover the real power to change. There is a science behind it. Let me help you utilize new skills, experience happiness, and find exciting ways to enjoy a newfound hope in life.

Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) is a good place to start as it helps us discover what you would like to achieve in our sessions and in your life. After we map out a desirable goal, we can start taking necessary steps towards change. We can also incorporate Adult Attachment Focused Therapy (AAFT) to see how your feelings, thoughts and behaviors in present significant relationships relate to your childhood experiences. You will explore how the attachments that you developed in the early years of your life profoundly affects every component of your life – your mind, body, emotions, relationships, values, and self-perception.
I utilize a Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach to assist you in recognizing how your feelings, thoughts and behaviors are connected. I also use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to come to terms with what is out of your control and to commit to action that improves and enriches your life. Mindfulness techniques are also useful to help you discover or rediscover your inner strength and ability to grow. My goal is to create a safe place for you to explore your inner-feelings and needs. And once you feel validated, we can figure out ways to empower you so you can create life on your term – a life of Joy, Happiness, Love, Passion, Success and Fulfillment.
