At this time I am prioritizing offering support to the
BIPOC
community.
Your are finding yourself feeling overwhelmed or on edge. You are struggling to navigate though feelings of worry, sadness, difficult life life transitions. You find yourself being triggered by issues related to trauma. You tend to be the person that friends, loved ones, and colleagues heavily rely on. At times you are so focused on taking care of everyone else, or meeting the next milestone that you forget to take care of yourself. You have been impacted by the affects of racism, sexism and/or classism and are now looking for support.
