Stop trying to figure them out…

When I first started working with young people, I noticed how often the focus was on trying to figure out what was wrong, whether through assessments, referrals, or diagnoses. I spent years in spaces like that, watching young people being viewed through a clinical lens that often missed who they really were.

Eventually, I shifted. I stopped trying to decode or fix anyone and instead, I started simply holding space. Listening. Noticing. Letting them be.

And that’s when the real breakthroughs happened. That’s when things began to unfold not because I had the answers, but because they had room to explore their own.

This approach is at the heart of what I do. It’s grounded, intuitive, and relational and it’s why I love this work so much.
