Do you find yourself feeling things really deeply or “overthinking” what everything means? Do you find yourself wondering about how your past experiences have shaped you and search for patterns in your life, trying to get to the root of your struggles. Or perhaps, life just doesn’t feel the way you imagined it would, or it feels like something is missing. You want to change but nothing seems to work or it doesn't last very long. There is another way. You may have been trying to do this all on your own. Maybe that is how you have been doing it your whole life. But you don’t have to. Let’s get to the root of your struggles together.
Having someone by your side who is not only attentive but also compassionate and deeply engaged can truly transform your process. Imagine someone who tunes into even the quietest whispers of your thoughts, shining a light on things that might have stayed hidden from you. I will meet you right where you are. Together, we can discover what you’ve been missing.
I partner with insight seekers—those who are curious about themselves and others yet find themselves facing challenges in relationships, coping with past trauma, or experiencing depression, anxiety, or low motivation. Together, we’ll explore beyond your blind spots and uncover the root causes of your struggles, paving the way for meaningful, lasting change.
