Struggling to feel confident in who you are — especially in groups? Do you want to be a leader, speak up, or just feel seen—but worry others won’t understand your lived experience, your identity, or even your reality? You know your values. You know your truth. But voicing them feels risky. Maybe you've even thought, "My brown ass/gay ass can't say that out loud."
And yet, deep down, you know business as usual just isn’t cutting it anymore.
You’re ready for CHANGE.

I enjoy working with children, teens, college students, and young adults, especially those navigating the uncertainty and pressure that often comes with growing up and major life transitions.

Some come in not knowing exactly what’s wrong, just that things feel heavy. I offer a collaborative, supportive space to slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and build tools to feel more grounded and confident.
