Let's be honest. This is a challenging time and space to be living in. There is so much more you can control in your life experience than what society leads you to believe. I'd be honored to offer you a place of support, a genuinely connected relationship, and my expertise (in nerdy stuff like neuroscience and the cognitive process) to help defeat whatever is standing between you & the life you deserve.

How often do you find yourself thinking of what could have been? Perhaps it's not what could have been but something you should have done differently?

I work to ground my clients in the here and now, accepting what is as opposed to what could be. I aim to help individuals reach their goals by building self-awareness and self-compassion.
