Are you feeling overwhelmed by trying to be everything to everyone? Perhaps you are exhausted by all the effort it takes to "push through" and life feels like you’re just going through the motions? If this is you- Sawubona (sow:'bɔh:nah)- I see you. You are strong, intelligent, hard working and resourceful but you may also be struggling with feeling tired, disconnected, and burnt out. If you are searching for new ways to cope- I can help.
I am experienced working with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ folks & families struggling to cope with the impacts of trauma, experiences of oppression, high stress careers, parenting and with navigating complex and challenging family and personal relationships. I help my clients get back to- or find for the first time- a life that feels meaningful, engaging and enjoyable.
I have training to address trauma, work stress, cultural/racial issues, relationship and family conflict, parenting, grief, depression & anxiety. Together, we will work holistically to find new ways to cope with life’s challenges, release past hurts & unhelpful patterns and develop a more compassionate, joyful relationship with yourself & others.
