While individual history, knowledge, and experiences will guide this process, my approach to working with humans is also centred on the belief that our worldviews are formed, in part, by the different systems that we are each a part of. Our multifaceted and intersectional identities represent the confluence of these systems and influences, necessitating an open, nuanced, and layered reflection of how each part informs and interacts with the others. Recognizing the ways in which these systems give shape to the lens we see the world through, we can begin to decipher between what is affixed vs adjustable, while determining what to spotlight vs sequester. In other words, my therapeutic approach is centred on cultural awareness, competency, and humility, integrating curiosity with introspection to examine the impacts of familial, cultural, and societal norms and expectation.

This is therapy that understands you.
