About

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor working in this field for over 7 years
 
Counseling aims to help individuals in distress by using various models of therapeutic interventions. It involves an individual sharing their personal beliefs, experiences, and concerns for the client and therapist to develop a suitable treatment plan.
 
The most common reason as to why most counselors choose this career path is because they have a strong desire to help others. Helping individuals navigate through difficult life situations, such as domestic violence, the death of a loved one, divorce, bullying, natural disasters, school stress and the loss of a job allows a counselor to offer the right support that the individual may need during that time. As a counselor, it is my job to ensure that my client’s feelings are validated, but to also encourage them to focus on the positive aspects of their personal life.
                        
Positivity is the ability to meet challenges and situations in life with an “I am good enough,” “I’ll figure it out,” “things will work out” attitude. Individuals who use the power of positivity face the same disappointments and challenges in life that everyone else faces, with the difference of choosing to react to these challenges by finding a productive and positive way to cope and respond.
 
 
My diverse background and living in four different countries have helped me become the person I am today. I also speak three different languages and have been exposed to many different levels of values and cultures. My past encounters throughout the world have shaped me into becoming the counselor I am today by understanding my clients at a deeper level.
