I provide a warm and non-judgmental environment where clients can feel safe and respected in exploring challenging and sometimes painful aspects of their selves, histories, and relationships. My role is to accompany clients on their journey and provide empathetic support in identifying their unique concerns, discovering areas of difficulty, areas of strength and facilitating healing.
