Are you a perfectionist who works hard but feels like you didn’t do a good enough job? Do you find yourself feeling anxious while at work or in social situations?

Your goal is to feel less anxious, reduce ruminating over thoughts, and feel more in control of your thoughts. You also want to build your self esteem, increase self-kindness and self-acceptance.

Do you feel overwhelmed, alone, debilitated, or without meaning or purpose? Sometimes the adversities we face in our lives become too challenging and hinder us from living the life we desire.

I am passionate in helping individuals feel free from the burden and weight of burnout, find relief from debilitating grief, break free from unhealthy patterns like codependency, or let go of shame about the past. I believe that when we feel silenced, trapped, and depleted by the things we have to carry alone without any relief or resolve, we become ill and stuck. We may even have this gnawing feeling that something is very very wrong. Call it anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship difficulties, or that “there is just something wrong with me”; the label is less important. What is more important is that you want relief.
