Approach and Methods
At Breath of Life Counseling, healing is viewed as both a personal journey and a process of restoration. My approach combines evidence-based therapeutic methods with a compassionate, client-centered focus, always tailored to the unique needs of each person I work with.
Foundational Approach
Person-Centered Care: I believe clients thrive when they feel seen, heard, and respected. Sessions are collaborative, allowing clients to set the pace and direction of their healing.
Trauma-Informed Practice: Whether trauma is recent or generational, I create a space that emphasizes safety, choice, and empowerment.
Faith Grounded Perspective For those who desire it, scripture and prayer can be integrated to support emotional and spiritual growth.
Methods and Techniques
Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral Tools (CBT&DBT): To help clients recognize patterns of thought and behavior that may be keeping them stuck, while building healthier coping skills.
Strength-Based Strategies: Highlighting resilience, talents, and inner resources to empower growth.
Somatic Awareness: Exploring how the body holds stress and trauma, and learning grounding and calming techniques.
Reflective Listening & Strategic Silence: Skills that make space for clients to uncover their own insights and truths.
Relational Healing: Exploring attachment patterns, boundaries, and family dynamics to support healthier connections.
