My Philosophy

You are the person who has the power to change how you feel. I help you understand why you feel the way you do and teach you to think in a more positive and healthier manner. When you're ready to commit to self-exploration and growth, changing yourself leads to desired positive outcomes in your life and in your relationships with others.

I provide you with an alternate method of counseling by assisting you in identifying issues and patterns that are no longer useful and replacing them with new ways of looking at yourself and life. My ultimate goal is to teach you how to work through issues on your own, improving your relationships and your general sense of well-being. 

We all are impacted by the influences of our childhood, society, and the world around us. Our lives consist of a series of experiences resulting in how we currently perceive the world. At some point in our lives, these perceptions become outdated and are no longer useful to us. In fact, these old perceptions can stand in the way of our personal growth and our ability to fully understand our relationships with others.

I show you how to identify these belief systems and replace them with new thoughts and patterns. 

I am not affiliated with any particular religion. 

The following quote reflects the personal philosophy of OnlineCounseling.org:

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. 
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. 

It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. 
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? 
Actually, who are you not to be? 

You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. 
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure about you. 
We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. 

It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. 
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. 
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
