"I became a therapist to create a safe space where you can explore the intricacies of your life
story. Honoring your experiences and walking alongside you as you embrace self-understanding,
unique identity, and belonging is at the heart of my work. I am passionate about helping people
discover and grow in their sense of agency. My therapeutic philosophy is based on a deep
commitment to a strengths-based approach, recognizing that each person and family has unique
resources to overcome challenges. I also understand the impact of systemic inequities on
individuals and families, and I am dedicated to addressing these issues openly in my work. My
approach empowers clients to identify their strengths while making visible the larger systems
affecting them, fostering resilience, personal growth, and confidence in navigating life’s hurdles."
