thinks like you do/thinks the way you do
The literal translation of the words is "thinks along with you". This implies empathy, looking after you and acting as you would like them to. It is the simplest, most literal, rendition and its meaning fits in the context. Essentially, it agrees with all the other suggested translations but I think it is the best rendition.
