the best label is still just… you)
You might know me as a therapist. Or maybe you’ve read a little about my work. But underneath that, I’m also someone who’s spent time being asked to tick boxes, define traits, and map myself onto systems — Myers-Briggs, DISC, StrengthsFinder, you name it.
Some of what they say about me?
- Myers-Briggs (MBTI): INFJ / ENFJ — I sit between deep introversion and natural leadership. Empathic, idealistic, insight-driven, but also pragmatic, protective, and capable of stepping into the fire when needed. I call it being an ANFJ — ambiverted, authentic, and never quite one or the other.
- DISC: High D and I — Direct, intuitive, fast-paced, deeply relational. I act quickly when it counts, but lead with clarity and connection.
- Gallup Strengths / Signature Themes: Strategic. Empathic. Communicator. Activator. Futuristic.
- I’m the person who sees the long game — the system, the soul, the spark — and helps connect the dots.
They’re all true.
And yet… not one of them is all of me.
Like with everything, with every judgement, that’s only a very slight sliver of who you are, and it can also be very contextual.
Psychometrics can point at who I am — but they’ll never fully hold me. That’s my job
Because psychometric tools are just that — tools. They hint at patterns. They illuminate edges. But they can’t tell you what it’s like to survive with grace, to hold space through storm, to care for a parent while building a practice, to rebuild a life from fragments and choose hope again.
- They don’t know what it’s like to be HIV-positive in a world still riddled with stigma.
- To be autistic and empathic in a room too loud to breathe.
- To hold paradox and purpose in the same sentence.
- To be fire and water. Structure and storm.
So What Does This Mean for You?
It means I don’t see you as a type either.
I meet people where they are — messy, brilliant, complex. Sometimes resilient, sometimes raw. I’m not here to box you. I’m here to see you — and help you see yourself a little more clearly. We’re not 2D. We contradict ourselves. That’s human. That’s real.
And I’m not here because I’ve got it all figured out. I’m here because I know what it’s like to be reduced to a label — and to outgrow it.
So if you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “too much” or “not enough,” or if you’ve ever sat with a test result and thought that’s me… but also not me at all — you’re in good company.
Come as you are, I’ll meet you there.
If we zoom in too much on something, that’s all we can see, so we need to step out and look at the bigger picture.
I’m not here to box or label you. I’m here to help you see yourself a little more clearly.
