Her primary goal as a therapist is to develop and provide a relationship with clients based on trust, safety and respect, as children need to feel deeply and unconditionally accepted, seen and understood before they can open up and truly express themselves on a level that will lead to meaningful change and engagement in their communities (home, school, leisure).
