With such a fast pace of life, you may feel like you're standing still while everything seems to be zooming around and past you. You could be getting frustrated, going through the motions or drowning within a never ending list of “to-do’s”. This frustration could leave you feeling like everything is spinning out of control and it’s hard to make decisions. You might even find yourself questioning what you’ve done wrong, wondering how things got this way and why this is happening to you. You can calm the internal noise and build the confidence you need to feel in control of your own life. I know what it's like to overthink and doubt.
I believe that the problems people have shouldn't define who they are as a person. I learned the importance of supporting people to see their fears and push past discomforts to find their inner strength. As a bilingual clinician, I realize people don't always have access to proper services, and their ethnic background affects how they view themselves.
I support individuals through skill building, managing conflict, and being empowered to make changes. I can see how hopeless it can feel to not know where to turn to find answers. You're not alone, we can figure this out together. We all carry a story, and with the right tools, I can help guide you to move forward with strength, empowerment, and confidence.
