My Therapeutic Philosophy

Modern therapy was built within a narrow framework, created by old, white men who assumed their experience was universal. While we’ve learned from those early ideas, they often fall short for people who live outside those default narratives.

I work from a different place.

I don’t treat every struggle as a disorder or every feeling as a problem to solve. So much of what gets labeled “symptoms” are actually natural, intelligent responses to a harsh, unequal, and demanding world. People aren’t inherently broken, they’re adapting.

My philosophy is rooted in humanity, not pathology. I keep my whole self present in the room, and I honor the emotional truth of what you’re carrying, not just the clinical description of it. I feel deeply with my clients. I name the realities that shape our lives. I hold space for the versions of you that haven’t had room to exist anywhere else.

At its core, this work is about reclaiming your inner wisdom, reconnecting with your agency, and returning to yourself in a world that has asked you to shrink, survive, and stay quiet.
