Provider information
Description
I am passionate about meeting people where they are at, and creating a safe space on the foundational values of acceptance and empowerment. Understanding that the human experience can be diverse and complicated with various factors and influences that impact our wellbeing within society such as work, family, and past experiences – the foundation of my practice is built upon approaches such as Systems Theory and Psychodynamic Theory. I support individuals in exploring the world around them and the influences on their life, and developing individual strategies and steps in becoming empowered.
