Our lived experiences often shape our meaning and understanding of our world and sometimes those experinces bring us internal and relational difficulties. Clouding us from knowing our own skills and confidence to lead our most fulfilling life with a sense of empowerment and authenticity. I believe neither our circumstances or experiences define who we are and when our stories no longer match our sense of self we can feel a multitude of emotions and unsure of where to turn for support. Developing a space to feel heard, seen and supported is where others can find the strength to re-create their lives.I work specifically with individuals who are struggling to cope and/or having difficulty in accessing their own unique skills and inherent strengths to maneuver through life's challenges. I support those who are desiring to deepen their understanding of their past and current experiences in order to live more fully in the present.My practice is based on the foundations of developing a positive therapeutic relationship. I believe in viewing each individual within the context of their environment and utilize this approach as a means to decrease the stigma and labels of mental health. Ultimately, my own experiences have aided in my desire to be there for others.
