About You.

Given my background, strengths, and thus, expertise, my focus is on working with clients who are seeking to connect, understand, and embrace their own authenticity; people who are looking for self-development and growth. This subset of clients are ones who want to understand themselves in relation to their lived experience, of course pursuing symptom-reduction, but not just that. These clients want to work toward lasting change, not just a temporary reprieve from whatever is causing them distress. They are open to explore the parts of themselves that they do not like and make them feel uncomfortable because this is where their truth exists, and without knowing or embracing these parts, they will remain only half of their whole and change will not occur.

Seeking

To be truthful I must do more
than speak words true.
I must also
hear truth, be open to truth,
receive truth, act upon truth,
that truth — difficult, painful,
searching around me,
within me,
else my life mistaken
seeking to honour
my very
own truth.
