What is important to you, for your client to feel, when working with you?
I want every child I work with to feel like they belong just as they are. My hope is that time spent with me feels more like being with family than it does like therapy; steady, patient, and full of encouragement.
Who do you believe you are for a client as they manage their problems?
I believe I am a steady source of support for my clients as they face challenges. I am someone who helps them feel understood, valued, and capable while they work through their goals.
What drives your passion for seeing clients?
I am driven by the joy of watching clients discover their strengths and grow more confident in themselves. Seeing even small steps of progress reminds me why this work matters so much.
How do you believe clients "get better"?
I believe children learn new skills, strengthen what they already know, and build confidence that supports them in everyday life.
