Professional Values and Approach

​

Sisly believes our identities are sources of strength—not burdens to hide. She understands how the pressure to mask or suppress identity can lead to profound emotional distress. Her work is anchored in compassion, cultural awareness, and lived experience.

Having walked her own path of recovery, she brings a deeply empathetic presence to the healing process. She hopes for a future where inclusivity is the norm and affirming care is standard—but until then, she is committed to holding space with gentleness, integrity, and fierce care.
