"We are not what happened to us, we are who we choose to become”, by Carl Jung
The foundations of respect, non-judgment and strength are powerful values that are needed in a therapeutic relationship. Through unconditional self-acceptance, impact, and change you are the driving force in your life.
As a Collaborative Counseling Professional my belief is that anyone seeking counseling should be treated with respect, dignity and genuine care while highlighting strengths. My goal is for you to gain skills and empowering choices that improve your wellbeing, relationships and to overcome challenges.
