What It's Like To Work With Me
My practice is rooted in warmth, cultural humility, and a deep belief in each person's capacity for healing and growth. I work to create a therapeutic space that feels genuinely safe — especially for those who have historically felt marginalized by mental health systems. I integrate narrative therapy, strengths-based approaches, and anti-oppressive frameworks to help you reclaim your story and move forward on your own terms.
