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

PLEASE SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION CALL FIRST. Intake sessions will be cancelled without having an initial consultation with the therapist. The therapist will contact you via phone for a 15 min consultation call.

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

My strength is to see you as the human first! I help clients feel empowered to take the wheel in their wellness journey learn how to safely "drive" along the road by providing a compassionate and judgement free zone. I encourage clients to trust themselves through the therapeutic journey as they learn to trust me in their detailed privacy. Ultimately, I allow the client to remain in the driver seat of their journey as I take the passenger seat by helping unload the heavy baggage in the trunk, provide tangible tools to use where there is a need for maintenance, psycho-education to adequately manage our systems on the road, insight when the road gets dark and bumpy, of and supportive rider to talk to, laugh with and cry it out while driving towards wholeness, wellness and healing.
