Collaborative and community-minded: Works in partnership with local teams and honours community direction.
Flexible and adaptable: Comfortable working in dynamic school environments and remote community contexts.
Creative and play-oriented clinician: Skilled in expressive, play-based, and strengths-focused therapeutic approaches.
Organized and accountable: Maintains strong documentation, follow-through, and professional reliability.
Self-aware and reflective: Engages in ongoing learning and reflective practice related to cultural safety and trauma-informed care.
