Our philosophy
Our philosophy centers around the belief that true well-being extends beyond the boundaries of the mind and encompasses the harmony of the entire being – mind, body, and soul. We recognize the interconnectedness of these elements and strive to facilitate a holistic approach to healing and personal development.
In addressing the mind, we emphasize the importance of mental clarity, emotional resilience, and self-awareness. Through evidence-based therapeutic practices, we aim to empower individuals to navigate the complexities of their thoughts and emotions, fostering a resilient and balanced mental state.
For the body, we advocate for physical health and vitality. Incorporating practices that promote physical well-being, such as exercise, nutrition, and mindfulness, we seek to optimize the body's potential for overall health. Recognizing the profound impact of physical well-being on mental health, we encourage holistic self-care routines.
At the core of our philosophy is the acknowledgment of the soul, representing the deepest essence of an individual. We honor the spiritual dimension, recognizing that a
sense of purpose, connection, and inner peace contributes significantly to one's overall wellness. This involves exploring and nurturing the unique aspects of each person's spiritual journey.
In summary, our philosophy revolves around the integration of mind, body, and soul, fostering a holistic approach to healing and personal growth. By addressing these interconnected aspects, we aspire to guide individuals toward a state of wholeness, where they can thrive and experience a profound sense of fulfillment in their lives."

Clinical Supervision
My approach to supervision is similar to my approach to therapy. I believe that the goal of supervision is not simply to complete your required hours or to give competent care to your clients. What I teach interns is how to take their skills and their work to the next level. In addition to what you might normally receive from supervision, in my supervision work I help you deal with real life complex questions that affect your clients. You'll learn how to balance indirect therapy approaches where you help the client find their own best answers, with more direct therapeutic
interventions where you need to take a little more control for a short while to help reassure your client and give them hope, or to prevent them from causing irreversible damage to their relationships.
