Do you struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, people-pleasing, or self-esteem that affects relationships, work, or sense of self? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or frustrated by constantly trying to live up to impossible standards, pushing yourself to do more, or trying to keep everyone happy? Are you wondering if life could be better—more balanced, calm, fulfilling & peaceful? If you’ve ever felt trapped in cycles that drain your energy or hold you back, I’m here to help. Whether it’s imposter syndrome, your inner critic & self-doubt, feeling anxious or healing from past trauma, I understand how challenging it can be.
Change is possible. I provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can explore these challenges and begin your healing journey. Together, we’ll delve into what’s happening beneath the surface, helping you recognize and break free from patterns that keep you stuck. I use EMDR and a variety of tailored approaches to meet your individual needs.
Taking a first step can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to do it alone. You deserve support, understanding, and empowerment as you face life’s challenges. Using an integrative, compassionate, trauma & culturally informed approach, we’ll work at your pace to create the changes you desire. Let’s take that first step together. Reach out for a free consult
