How are your services culturally responsive?
Cultural responsiveness is central to everything I do. I ground my work in trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and community-led approaches. I integrate traditional knowledge systems and prioritize solutions that reflect the values, identities, and lived realities of the people and communities I serve.

What makes your approach different?
My approach is rooted in real experience. As an immigrant, mental health leader, and someone who has worked closely with Indigenous communities, I understand how systems can uplift — or overlook, people.
