Philosophy of Care

My approach to therapy is relational and collaborative. I don't see myself as someone who "fixes" clients, but more as someone who walks with them through what they are going through. I think it is important that clients feel safe, not judged and able to be honest, even when things are messy or hard to explain. In session, I focus a lot on listening and understanding first, instead of jumping too quickly into solutions, Clients can expect a space where they can slow down, talk through their thoughts and feelings, and start to make sense of their experiences.

I try to be present and real in the room, and build a connection that feels genuine and supportive. My work is mainly informed by person-centered approaches with some cognitive-behavioral idea when it is helpful, I believe both emotions and patterns matter-understanding why we feel a certain way, but also noticing what we do and how we do things affects our life. I don't follow one strict method, I try to adjust based on what each client needs. My own background also impacts how I see therapy.

I feel especially passionate about working with clients from international or multicultural backgrounds. Adjusting to new culture, language, or environment can be challenging, and sometimes it can feel isolating or hard to fully express yourself. I understand how complex these experiences and be, and I hope to create a space where clients feel comfortable, culturally understood, and supported as they navigate these changes.
