One of the most fundamental parts of any healthy relationship is safety, and therapy is no exception. For useful insights and inspirations to grow to happen, our relationship must have safety and trust. I also am focused on transparency in the therapy. This work is medicine that clients learn to work with themselves, and I will often share what I'm doing and why in the session. The therapeutic container is a co-created collaboratative space that we build together. I am also convinced that that we are not individuals in a vacuum, but members of various cultural groups with their own history and societal contexts.

I trust my clients and their own innate wisdom to heal and grow. You have come this far in life by adapting to your environment in skilled and innovative ways. Some of these adaptations support you in how far you've come and will continue to. Some of them got you through challenging times and now need to be updated to serve you now and into the future. I do not see clients as a collection of deficits and diagnoses. I am strength-based and empowering, honoring your power. I encourage you to exercise your agency in our therapy and expand that to the rest of your life.

Our therapeutic container is co-created by the members of our dyad. I am not a therapist who imposes my ideas of healing but shares tools to equip you in your own self-actualization.

Psychotherapy is only effective if it serves the needs and interests of the client. Clients come into therapy with a range of experiences stemming from the multitude of identities we all hold. I strive to be anti-racist, intersectional feminist, liberatory for queer and trans people, and decolonized.
