Accepting NEW clients. Bonjour! Aaniin! I can support you through anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, life transitions, and identity concerns. I'm a queer person and intentional single parent. I am here to offer an affirming, safe, and welcoming space that you can fully be yourself in. Maybe you want to get to the root of a specific problem, need help building communication/emotional regulation skills, or want to find a way to manage daily challenges; I can help. Even if you don't know where to start, I am here for you. If you’re struggling, I can help you find your strength to overcome life's challenges & flourish.
Life can be stressful and overwhelming, but it doesnt have to be. I can help you find new ways of coping and processing life experiences, big or small. I draw upon a wide range of evidence-based practices that are tailored towards to your unique experiences. I work with any client, but specialize in queer issues, couples, or ADHD management.
I will help you discover your own irrational thoughts/attitudes/beliefs that might be holding you back and empower you to make positive changes that help you accomplish your goals and feel better. I will help you to find solutions and a path forward that will empower and engage you to reach your full potential. I look forward to connecting!
