ABOUT

My philosophy is strengths based as I believe that everyone has the capacity and power within them to solve their own problems and I help facilitate that process through empowerment strategies and lots of compassion.
No matter the storms and raging seas in your life, with the right support you can successfully manage life's challenges.

When it comes to Values, I prioritize:
Honesty, Integrity and Authenticity
What this looks like in my approach.
As a trauma-informed clinician, I have found that trauma exists in the realm of unexplainable pain that has been left unhealed and unprocessed and many find themselves adopting maladaptive ways to ease some of the pain and strain which comes as a consequence of experiencing a traumatic event. It is here where being honest with oneself matters most. Yes, you have endured something difficult and yes, you can heal from it, but it takes lots of hard work which requires the perfect trifecta of honesty, integrity and authenticity to achieve and might I add, lots of accountability. I recognize that there is power in healing and there is even greater power in helping others to heal and because of this, I take the client/therapist relationship seriously and convey the same values of honesty, integrity and authenticity with those I work with.
