Are you unhappy about where you are in life and fear others won't accept you for who you are? Do you feel as though you have to hide facets of yourself? Do you feel stuck and want to change? If so, you may find it helpful to connect with someone who has been through these feelings and understands the challenge in managing feelings of anxiety, stress, isolation, insecurity, and even depression. I understand the struggles with exploring one's identity and finding the confidence to love and value your unique self.

Even if you see obstacles in your path you feel like you cannot overcome, you have unique strengths that can help you overcome these. I can help you identify these strengths within yourself, and collaboratively, we can create a plan to help you realize your full potential.

I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ concerns, career exploration, career development concerns, stress, anxiety, eating disorders, perfectionism, social skills, procrastination/motivation and ADHD. My approach focuses on exploring what makes each individual thrive, providing empathy and understanding, free from judgment and societal expectations.
