The Meaning of OffScript
The concept of OffScript is derived from a solution-focused narrative approach. This is a therapeutic lens that aims to help you rewrite a more empowering storyline of your life. This may happen through changing the narrative of who you are supposed to be, how the world may have told you to be, or not to be, what others expect of you, or even changing the familiar and predictable family script- one that may be dysfunctional or harmful...

"Each person’s story and healing journey is different. My aim is to create a collaborative, authentic, safe space for you that is tailored to your unique needs at this moment in time.
Despite my expertise, I believe you are the expert of your life trajectory, past, and present. My aim is to support your healing process by creating a collaborative, authentic space, in order for you to assert your strengths and promote your own growth. I take a particular interest in working with the LGBTQ+ population within their coming out process or facilitating self-discovery, understanding how queer people often grow up with a blank canvas on love and attachment.
I also believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation of meaningful change. So if you are ready to start connecting, so am I."
