My Approach
My goal is to provide a warm, trusting, and supportive environment free of judgement for my clients. I recognize you are the expert in your own life; therefore, I will meet you where you’re at in your healing journey.
I work from a Strengths-Based perspective and use various evidence-based approaches to help you reach your goals including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Narrative Therapy.
My strongest technique is building rapport and connection with my clients with active listening, validation, and a side of humour.
I recognize the importance of diversity and cultural identity and will work to understand your beliefs, values, and traditions and how to implement them into your plan.
"The pain you feel today is the strength you feel tomorrow. For every challenge encountered, there is opportunity for growth."
