My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe therapy should be inclusive, affirming, and accessible.

I recognize the impact of systemic stress, trauma, and stigma on mental health and strive to approach my work with cultural humility and openness. Above all, I believe you are the expert on your own life, and therapy is a space to reconnect with your strengths while receiving support along the way.
