I work best with adult individuals who feel overwhelmed, emotionally stretched, or like they’re constantly holding everything together. Many are navigating anxiety, trauma, identity stress, burnout, or relationship strain, and often feel misunderstood in spaces that are supposed to feel safe. I mostly work with clients who are BIPOC, neurodivergent, and/or LGBTQ+, carrying personal, cultural, or generational weight that feels hard to name or unpack alone. Therapy with me often starts like untangling a tight ball of yarn. It can feel messy at first, but with patience and support, things begin to loosen and make more sense.

That feeling that your teenager or young adult isn't doing well is a painful one. You've noticed something is wrong but aren't quite sure what it is. Sometimes it's just a shrug of the shoulder or an anxious countenance, while other times it feels you're watching the light in them go dem. You've tried talking to your child; however, they just don't seem to be opening up. Memories of them when they seemed more energetic, happy, and even fearless lead you to believe they need help. One thing is for certain, you love your child and want your child to have the support they need.

Do you feel like you’re on high alert all of the time—constantly walking on eggshells, worrying about what could happen and on the lookout for danger? Are you consumed with incessant, looping thoughts that make it difficult to focus on tasks at hand and be present with the people around you?

Welcome to my profile, and approach: with Mindfulness informed choices, we can transform our lives into ones of meaning, reducing our suffering.

Life’s challenges—whether from trauma, ADHD, major life transitions, or high stress—can leave you feeling disconnected and stuck. Persistent irritability, emotional withdrawal, and patterns of overthinking or avoidance can negatively affect your relationships, self-esteem, sleep, and overall motivation. You may find yourself exhausted, burned out, or relying on unhealthy coping just to get through the day. I help individuals navigate these struggles by addressing emotional disconnection, anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-doubt.

You appear successful, thriving in your career, handling life’s demands, but inside, you feel disconnected and drained. People-pleasing, difficulty saying no, and putting others first have left you overwhelmed. Old patterns from childhood still shape your relationships. You long to feel aligned, confident, and free: able to speak your truth, set boundaries with ease, & live with purpose. You want your life to feel as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.

When your mind and body are disconnected, you can feel stuck in the same frustrating patterns and thoughts. No matter how much you want to change them, something keeps pulling you back. Anxiety, auto-pilot, people pleasing, and over-functioning can run the show, keeping you from living fully in the present and making the choices aligned with your deepest values. You long to feel at home in yourself, but self-compassion feels out of reach. Instead of feeling embodied and whole, you often feel like your own worst enemy. You want to break free from these cycles and finally feel like you are living fully as yourself.
