What It’s like to work together

I believe healing happens best within a strong, trusting relationship. That’s why I approach therapy as a co-creation — where your experiences, insights, and values are central. You are the expert on your own life, and I’m here as a real, present, and compassionate guide to help you reconnect with your inner wisdom.

I step away from rigid “therapist” roles and instead aim to show up authentically, creating a space where all parts of you are welcome — including humor, warmth, and the messiness of being human. My style is gentle yet direct, and always rooted in deep respect for the uniqueness of your journey.

I’m also mindful of the cultural, historical, and systemic forces that shape our lives. I hold space for the bigger picture while staying grounded in your lived experience.
