I offer comprehensive support and services to individuals in need. My expertise includes working with adults, adolescents, men, women, and new immigrants, ensuring a broad range of care tailored to diverse needs. For individuals who are unhoused and face substance use challenges, I provide immediate assistance by securing shelter and food. I emphasize safety first and advocate for my clients to help them develop a plan to improve their overall situation.
My approach includes conducting brief assessments for urgent concerns, such as suicide risk, and employing active listening techniques to understand and address each client's unique situation. I work to connect clients with relevant resources, such as case managers, substance use counselors, and community support networks, including church communities.
I am passionate in engaging clients and motivating them to embrace change. I believe everyone can change their situation and we all need some help at some time in life. I value cultural diversity and honor clients preferences so long as they enhance clients goals. I believe in providing honest and quality information on all circumstances.
