August 28, 2026: Are you intelligent, anxious, "type-A", with a million things always on the go? On the outside you appear to have "made it", but on the inside your anxiety is crippling. You wonder if you have ADHD, you're working on 100 things at once, never seeming to be able to slow down until you crash (and then beat yourself up for resting). You start to wonder if you're depressed. Why does it feel like you're on such a roller coaster of emotions? You've tried journaling, meditating, maybe even medication or therapy, but you still feel stuck. You know you need to "love yourself", but you don't know how to actually DO that

Reeling from an affair or betrayal trauma? Whether you discovered your partner's infidelity or you were the one who was unfaithful, the pain can feel unbearable — and deciding what comes next can feel impossible. I help couples and individuals heal from physical, emotional, financial, and online infidelity. Together we'll find clarity, process the hurt, and work toward your next step: rebuilding trust, or parting with peace. Healing after an affair is possible, even when it feels out of reach right now.

I work with teens and adults who are looking for a down-to-earth, collaborative space to explore their inner world, identify unhelpful patterns, and feel more connected to themselves. My main areas of focus include trauma, working with the LGBTQIA+ community, existential or life purpose questioning, OCD, spiritual struggles or religious deconstruction, and body image/self-esteem. Sessions with me feel like a genuine, two-way conversation. I believe you are the true expert in your own story; I’m here to act as a grounded sounding board, offer validation, and gently challenge you when it serves your growth.

Trauma can profoundly alter how we view ourselves, others, and the world. You might feel guilty, ashamed or overwhelmed thinking of your past experiences. It’s common to find it hard to trust others and to feel anxious about the safety of the world around you. You may be grappling with your identity, feeling disconnected from yourself, or overwhelmed by emotions. Despite the challenges you encounter, my goal is to ensure you feel not only supported but truly understood, acknowledged, and empowered.

New Sep 2026: Do you feel like you're stuck in fight-or-flight: your heart pounds getting a simple text, you analyze every pause in conversation, reread emails 12 times before hitting send, or procraste until the last second because pressure is the only thing that makes your brain kick in? Then you hold yourself together all day then crash at night with spiraling thoughts, emotional overwhelm, or the familiar shame of asking yourself “Why can’t I just be normal for once?” You're doing all the right things - you’re self-aware, driven, responsible, but you’re still exhausted by the same loops: anxiety, shutdowns and emotional swings

New Sep 2026: Are you a woman between 25-45 who is stuck in patterns you understand but can’t seem to change? Maybe you were raised by emotionally immature or narcissistic parents, struggle to set boundaries, or feel responsible for everyone else’s emotions while pushing down your own. Maybe you're in a dysfunctional relationship or stuck in "functional freeze". You are self-aware and KNOW what’s wrong - you’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, saved the tiktoks - but your body still reacts like you’re in survival mode. It’s exhausting to know what you need and still not be able to do it, and you're so ready for help.

You look fine on the outside, but inside you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck. Like a duck gliding calmly across the water, you appear steady, but beneath the surface, there’s panic and constant paddling to keep up and stay afloat. Maybe you’re caught in self‑doubt, perfectionism, or overthinking every decision. These patterns can lead to anxiety, burnout, and feeling like you’re replaying the same struggles in your relationships or sense of self. You’re not alone — I’m here to support you.

Thank you for visiting my profile. Perhaps you are moving through a difficult season of life, carrying grief, anxiety, stress, exhaustion, or a deep sense of uncertainty. You may feel overwhelmed by work, parenting, relationships, or the emotional challenges of living between cultures and identities after immigration. At times, you may long to reconnect with your authentic self while feeling trapped by pressure, self-criticism, or regret.

You understand where your patterns come from and why you respond the way you do. But knowing why hasn't necessarily helped you change it. The question you keep coming back to is, “So how do I stop?” Maybe you overthink everything, question yourself, put other people's needs before your own, or find yourself repeating patterns you know aren't working. You're tired of analyzing yourself, second-guessing yourself, and wondering why, despite everything you know, you still don't feel good enough. You’re ready to move beyond understanding your patterns and finally start changing them.
