As a licensed mental health and addiction professional I work within humanistic and person-centered perspectives; valuing and respecting the voices and experiences of my clients are paramount to healing and effective treatment. I support evidence-based approaches that match the therapeutic needs of my clients and assist them in creating safe space for self-reflection, insight and introspection. In summary each person has their life narrative that requires self-examination to foster or enhance growth and development. Let's explore you needs and concerns together in a safe and welcoming space.
