It’s easy to feel pressured to be perfect, avoid mistakes, and always appear happy—anything less can feel like failure. Many of us end up in survival mode, feeling disconnected from ourselves and others. I’ve been there too, and it’s not your fault; we all do the best we can with what we know. In our work together, you’ll have a safe, non-judgmental space for reflection. We’ll explore the messages you’ve heard about yourself and the world, so you can redefine your story and live more authentically. This oftentimes allows you to give yourself grace and connection with others living under similar social and systemic circumstances.

We are all unique individuals, with unique problems and unique ways of handling difficulties. Sometimes in life, we all find ourselves stuck.

I am here to listen without judgment or opinion to help you uncover what is truly best for you in your unique situation. Sometimes just taking the first step will uncover things you never thought possible.

Video, Telephone, and Email options. You’re constantly overthinking, avoiding social situations, and second-guessing yourself. Even simple interactions feel overwhelming, and you're tired of hiding how anxious you really are. Your self-worth has taken a hit, and panic sometimes creeps in when you least expect it.
