I enjoy supporting clients while they finding their voice and work towards feeling whole.

I have over 8 years of experience working with: mental health, addiction, trauma, family, dual diagnosis, crisis intervention and parenting.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

First sessions are a safe place to breathe and build a rapport with the Clinician, making sure that the client is feeling comfortable, safe, heard and most of all leaves the session feeling hopeful.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Having worked in multiple therapeutic settings. I've grown in how I relate to a client and recognizing that I'm working with them at their most vulnerable state. I also recognize that I could be their only source of support and that is not to be taken lightly. It's important they know their worth and there is hope. Qualities that I've been told by colleagues and client I have are: Positive, optimistic, empathetic, supportive, passionate.
