My Values as a Therapist
I hold the sacredness of healing within my practice. As a social worker, I work with folks to see how their environment is affecting them, and as an earth-centered practitioner, I see the way we are affecting the environment. This creates deepere and more lasting changes in my clients, as it allows empowerment, compassion, and authenticity to emerge. I value that each person has their own story and their own path, and I am honored to join them during sessions and help foster more understanding and awareness for them to thrive.
