My client would describe me as a passionate, patient, and kind person to work with. They would describe me as one who lets them feel heard.
I utilize an approach of partnership with my clients, for I respect their choice to lead the conversations. I believe that my clients hold the strengths within themselves to work through their struggles, and that my job is to partner with them.
My clients and I work well to discuss navigating relationships through the lens of being and adoptee, navigating self-esteem related to substance use, and how substance use shows up in our personal and professional lives.
