What do you view as a key component of the therapeutic relationship?

What I view as a key component of a good therapeutic relationship is trust, respect, and congruence. These major components along with empathy and genuineness empower a therapeutic alliance that promotes agreement on the goals of the treatment, agreement on the tasks, and the development of a personal bond that is made up of reciprocal positive feelings that foster essential aspects of successful therapy.

What would be important for someone to know about working with you?

A holistic approach to mental health and wellness is my primary goal. Integrative psychotherapy is fundamental to promote healing on all levels: physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and mental. Having a sound mind, body, and soul is a paradigm that signifies the wheel of wellness in its continuum, enriching the various aspects of life for optimal growth and a sense of well-being. Cultivating our spirituality promotes resiliency, equilibrium, and wellness. It provides a moral compass that affects our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. As the Serenity Prayer of St. Francis Assisi goes, “God, give me the courage to change the things I can, peace to accept the things I cannot, and wisdom to know the difference..,” renders faith and renewed strength. Faith-based counseling along with various treatment modalities is essential to effective therapeutic intervention and prevention. I support the therapeutic approach which best meets my client’s needs that fosters healing, life-giving grace, hope, peace, and love.

What’s the most profound, insightful, or interesting thing you’ve learned as a mental health professional?

The most profound, insightful, or interesting thing I’ve learned as a mental health professional is being able to help people reach and tap on their potentials. There is this integral source of strength in other people that enables them to help themselves effectively. Thus, this paves the way in achieving their desired therapeutic goals for optimal wellness.
