What is important to you, for your client to feel, when working with you?
When working with clients it’s important to me that they feel safe to be themselves. To create a space where the client has the support needed to push past through challenges.
Who do you believe you are for a client as they manage their problems?
I believe I am a support system for the clients. Someone with the compassion and tools to guide them.
What drives your passion for seeing clients?
Being able to participate in their growth process. Being able to watch as they develop skills to increase independence and create connections.
How do you believe clients "get better"?
I believe clients get better through the continuous support of their community members.
