As a social worker, I encourage and foster growth in the client's spiritual, cultural, and belief systems in order to align them with their passions and strengths. I incorporate EMDR with cognitive interweaves that our clinically appropriate based on client's presentation, affect, and diagnosis including incorporating CBT, DBT, MI, and relational work. I acknowledge the heavy role that systems play to influence individual, family, and social well-being and health and strive for solutions to these systems that oppress, isolate, and disparage healing and growth. In therapy, we will explore how manners (behaviors and senses) exist, compete, or thrive alongside your inner world. We will explore how view of self may be positively or negatively influenced by our senses (what we take in). The connection between our inner-world and our experiences operate simultaneously. Discovering in the details, what one sees and how they see, in order to lead to change and healing through the therapeutic process and relationship.
