About me
I believe that every person has the ability to overcome adversity!
Life can be challenging and overwhelming at times. Sometimes, because of unexpected and unforeseen life events like trauma or loss, and other times because of everyday challenges like relationship struggles, parenting challenges or navigating different life stages.
I am passionate about journeying alongside people as they navigate their way through adversity. I am an attentive listener and I uphold values of empathy, acceptance, respect, non-judgement, and authenticity.
Bearing witness to stories of hope, healing, and transformation in the lives of those I encounter, inspire me!
About AVANTI
I am committed to offering high-quality care to every client.
I embrace a collaborative, person-centered approach which is personalized to each client’s individual needs and goals. I aim to offer a safe, warm, and confidential environment where clients can freely share their heart, be seen and heard, and be understood. Where clients can explore their journey to wellness - whether it is a journey towards healing, towards living a full and productive life with self and others, or towards personal growth and development. A space where clients can discover their inner resources, build resilience and emotional strength, and become the best version of self!
"Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.”
