"I believe individuals who want to overcome mental health struggles CAN make a change! There is always trial and error, and steps forward and back, but when the client and the therapist are committed to the process, the results can transform lives. Regardless of the struggle they're facing, I try to be honest and open with my clients and to foster an environment in which they feel safe to be open as well. Maintaining open communication and building trust helps ensure the client's therapeutic needs are being met."
