Aimee is a firm believer in the power of compassion, empathy, and empowerment. When working with clients, Aimee seeks to develop a culturally sensitive, individualized and collaborative action plan to facilitate the process of recovery.

As a therapist, Aimee believes that clients are the experts of their own lives. Viewing her role within the room as one that entails wearing many hats, Aimee advocates for the client’s definition of recovery – directing them as needed to uncover what that picture looks like. Aimee seeks to instill hope and foster confidence within the self the client wishes to be. She ultimately believes in the power of hidden potential as well as the journey to witness it unfold.
