Therapy is a space we create together. It’s okay to not know exactly what you want out of therapy. You don’t need to have the right words or a clear reason to start. Just the feeling that something could be different is enough.

You have a right to feel safe, to ask questions, to take your time, and to decide whether a therapist feels right for you. Therapy isn’t about being told what to do, it’s a space that’s shaped with you.

If you’re considering therapy, it’s okay to be unsure, and it’s okay to begin slowly. You deserve a space that meets you where you are.

I hope to build a relationship that feels safe, respectful, and open, one where the client can bring their full self, and where we can speak honestly about what’s unfolding in the space. I see the relationship not just as the backdrop, but as part of the work itself.

One way I support this is by checking in regularly on how things are going, what feels helpful, and what might need adjusting. We revisit goals together, and make space for what is coming up, including how the process feels or how things feel between us. These conversations help keep the process collaborative and allow us to stay responsive to the client’s needs as they shift over time.

My approach is client-centred and collaborative. I see therapy as something we shape together, based on what feels most supportive to you. I draw from a range of approaches depending on your needs. This might include parts work, inner child work, and exploring the patterns and stories that have shaped your life over time.

We might look at how different parts of you respond to certain situations, or how earlier experiences continue to show up in the present. I also pay close attention to the context you’re coming from, your identities, relationships, histories, and the systems that impact your emotional world.

Therapy with me is a space to slow down, reflect, and be met with empathy and curiosity. We’ll move at your pace, and I’ll check in regularly to make sure it continues to feel safe, affirming, and helpful.

Creating a safe and affirmative space for queer and trans clients is a core commitment in my practice. I work towards this by paying attention to the power dynamics that show up in the room, holding space for each person’s lived experience without assumptions, and allowing them to define how they want to be seen, named, and understood.

My practice is informed by queer-affirmative frameworks, and I continue to engage with resources like the QACP Resource Book and the Indian Wheel of Power and Privilege to reflect on how caste, class, gender, and sexuality intersect in therapy spaces. I try to stay accountable by actively unlearning biases, being in supervision, and staying open to feedback. I also invite clients to share their discomfort or questions about the space or the process, and try to meet that with curiosity and care.
