Being open about my values isn’t about promoting a political agenda or telling anyone what to believe. It’s about informed consent. Therapy does not exist outside the social and political realities that shape our lives, and for many people, especially those from marginalized or targeted communities, safety in therapy depends on knowing where a therapist stands. I’m unapologetic about naming my values and the ethical boundaries that guide my work. This piece lays them out clearly, so you can decide upfront whether I’m the right person to trust with your care.

As a psychologist, I believe that being clear about where I stand on key issues isn’t just good practice—it’s a matter of ethics, safety, and trust. This is especially important for clients who are part of marginalized communities, many of whom are seeking therapy in direct response to ongoing political harm.
