Are you facing a challenging time or coming to terms with feelings and emotions that seem heavy and difficult to understand? Are you struggling with stress, burnout or anxiety and feel overwhelmed? Do you wonder if life should somehow feel better? I see so many individuals who are feeling exhausted from trying to manage relationships, careers and their lives; who suffer from depression or a painful past and find themselves in repetitive thinking patterns making them feel stuck and uncertain about the future. I believe that taking time for yourself and exploring what it is that you need can get you closer to achieving your goals.

Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or a heightened sense of pressure to maintain your responsibilities, relationships, and friends can take a toll on your mental health.

I also work with people from the straight and LGBTQ communities who are experiencing challenges in their relationships, with sexuality, sexual orientation, alternative relationships, alternative sexualities, and gender.
