Core Beliefs:

​

• One of the roles of therapy is to provide support to individuals as they struggle to overcome challenges, to understand themselves, and to reach a greater level of happiness. I encourage you to recognize your own strengths, skills, and competencies, empowering you to be confident and independent.

​

• I believe that therapy should provide hope, a hope that change is possible.  Confucius once said that: "Our greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."  My goals is to help create a space where others can find the faith, courage, and support they require to rise after they fall.

​

• To me, a counsellor is someone that will not stop listening to you just because you have something unpleasant to say. I believe that there is something powerful that is created within a truly empathetic and accepting relationship. The power to change comes through a relationship where people feel truly seen, and heard.

​

• I believe that people do not tolerate suffering passively; they will act to overcome challenges in a variety of ways (such as mentally, emotionally, or behaviourally). Sometimes these responses skills can go unnoticed, thus, exploration of them can result in empowerment
