As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am here to patiently listen to you with respect, empathy, and a positive mindset. I help you identify your strengths and navigate through life's challenging moments so you can spend more time celebrating your successes along the way. I have 5 years experience working with clients from all walks of life as a mental health and substance use counsellor. In my free time I enjoy music, art, poetry, family, and friends.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
After we introduce ourselves during our first session, you can expect us to begin to develop the rapport and trust needed in every client/therapist relationship. This means finding out about what challenges you've been going through and identifying what you'd like to get out of therapy. I'll also learn more about your expectations for treatment and go over basic guidelines.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I've found that my greatest strengths are being down-to-earth, focused, open-minded, genuine, and committed to understanding what you're going through so we can help you arrive at meaningful solutions and insights. I respect your dignity as an individual and take your confidentiality seriously. Clients I've worked with in the past have pointed out my calm presence, empathetic listening style, and perceptive observations as further strengths.
