When you're ready - it's okay to talk about it.
I've spent the majority of my career working with individuals involved in the legal system, and consequently, processing intense pain, trauma, and challenges. My goal is to always inspire hope and remind you of your power. Everything you need to grow and change already exists inside you; I'm simply your guide to help you discover, explore, and build upon your own strengths.
It's important to me that you feel like you are not alone, and that you are tough, brave, and resilient. Your feelings and your experience is valid. I will take the time to ensure you feel empowered and in control, and that any strategies or interventions are tailored to your individual needs. I consider you to be the expert in your own experience, and will look to you to decide how we best spend our time together. Of course, we are collaborators. Any unknown answers or uncertainty we can explore and tackle together. With your permission, I may give you topics to contemplate or exercises to practice in between sessions to deepen and further our work together.
