I center compassion and curiosity in respects to your intersectional identities and the ways they shape your lived experiences. While we may orient our work towards goals that include self-growth, it is essential that we also examine the systems you are also navigating and surviving and the role identity plays in that process. Part of my ethical practice involves questioning the expectation that individuals must develop “resilience” on their own while being impacted by systemic oppression. While I believe therapy can play a major role in facilitating growth and healing, it is important to be mindful of falling into patterns that reinforce pressures of productivity and perfectionism.

Managing chronic conditions is often a marathon, not a sprint. Whether you’re new to exploring identity as a disabled person or facing the stress of navigating complex medical systems, you deserve a space where you are truly seen and treated with dignity and respect. I believe in holistic care and being able to gauge your whole picture of wellbeing.
