Description
I advocate for uncovering the underlying causes of clients’ challenges and value the distinctive narrative of each individual. My focus is on promoting overall well-being and mental health, using a client-centered approach. I aim to address root causes and honour each individual's story while providing compassionate support on they need. My diverse educational and professional experiences have equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of healthcare systems and the social and systemic barriers that impact individual health outcomes.
