These values guide how I live, relate, and engage- in therapy and beyond:

Relational Ethic - I approach therapy as a deeply relational process. I show up attuned, emotionally present, and grounded in mutual respect. I partner with clients to co-create the work, honoring their lived wisdom and inviting shared exploration.

Integrity & Accountability - I engage in continuous reflection, learning, and unlearning. I take responsibility for my impact and welcome feedback as part of building trust and practicing relational ethics.

Imagination & Possibility - This work is not just about reducing distress. I hold space for creativity, joy, humor, agency, and imagining futures rooted in dignity, authenticity, and collective flourishing.

Beyond Pathology - I resist the urge to diagnose or define too quickly. I’m more interested in what your responses have made possible—how they’ve protected you, and what they carry—than in framing them as something broken or wrong.

Justice & Collective Care - Therapy is not separate from the world. It is a space for repair, affirmation, and liberation—especially for those whose lives have been shaped by systemic injustice, erasure, and marginalization.

Cultural Humility & Responsiveness - I hold space for the layered realities of race, culture, language, class, religion, and migration. I attend to how these forces shape experience—without reducing anyone to a single narrative or identity.

Anti-Racism, Anti-Oppression Practice - My work is grounded in the ongoing, active dismantling of systems that produce harm—racism, patriarchy, ableism, and other structural violences—both internally and externally.
