I started my social work career working with children and families. This experience has helped to shape my work with clients and to understand how our experiences in our own families affect our lives.

I believe in enabling clients to work in the here and now to make good choices based on sound understanding of their motivations.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.
