"Unsure of who you are and how you fit in the world? Feeling isolated and lonely? Questioning your sexual orientation or struggling with coming out? Feeling stuck in a "rut" with no idea of how to get out? You're not alone. You might feel alone, but you're not. You might need feedback on how you're currently fitting into the world ("why am I not getting it?"). You might need validation for being who you are. You might need an objective third party to help sort out what's "real" and what's a result of other people, society, or unrealistic standards. Or you might need to know that it really is okay to be you, no matter what or how that looks. It's scary enough to have these problems, but sorting through them alone can make it even worse. My goal is to help you make sense of your feelings, as well as to help you feel more connected with people around you. Our sanity and happiness depends on the relationships we have (including the one with ourselves). Ultimately, my aim is to help you define yourself by your standard (and no society’s), while at the same time enhancing your relationships with others, so that you feel connected, comfortable, and fulfilled.

At times, it seems impossible to keep up, which can really take a toll on our anxiety levels and self-esteem. It can make us feel alone and helpless.

Are you nonstop questioning yourself - whether people like you, whether you're enough, if you're doing the "right" things in life, or if your relationships are good?
