Great to meet you!

Welcome to Headway! I am a social worker at heart. Mental health encompasses the way we live, laugh and love. You will have the opportunity to explore your sense of self, others, and the world. You can learn how to embrace the moment and break the cycle that is getting in the way of your full potential.

My biggest strength includes upholding the therapeutic relationship by showing respect, empathy, and non-judgment. It is important to build rapport by meeting you where you are and allowing trust to form naturally. I am a great listener and I will encourage you to enhance levels of authenticity, courage, and acceptance. I want to encourage you to move with passion, purpose and a plan! We will work on changing the relationship you have with your thoughts and feelings. It is important to renew your mind, build balance, and seek peace

My approach to therapy

We will aim to strengthen protective factors as you make positive changes to feel and be better. I believe in treating everyone with respect, dignity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. Radical acceptance includes walking in wisdom and living in truth! I am looking forward to speaking with you!

What you can expect from me

My goal within the first session is to build rapport and begin the assessment on overall wellbeing. You can expect to be treated with respect, empathy and non judgement. I respect the dignity and worth of every individual with a focus om empowerment.

I enjoy working with individuals experiencing life transitions. Specific populations may include the BIPOC Community, LGBTQIAA, Identity and Self Esteem, Trauma and Grief, Relationship Issues.
