Coming from a spirit of warmth and optimism, I wholeheartedly believe that change is not only possible, but likely. People are resilient, and through the healing (and a little bit of humor…) that happens in the clinical space, clients can experience the growth they’ve been hoping for. I aim to leave clients with a sense that they are in a partnership with someone who is committed to their wellbeing.
