It can be difficult to reach out for support when we find ourselves adrift in the ocean of our lives. Perhaps you've momentarily let go of your anchor and don't know how to find your way back or maybe you've been floating on your own for as long as you remember. Your circumstances and experiences are unique, but you don't have to be alone on your journey. I strive to use my professional training and unique insight from my lived experience to create a safe, non-judgmental and collaborative space where you can be free to explore your identity, experiences and internal processes.

Between building your career, swiping through the dumpster fire of online dating, and trying to be an adult, you're constantly overwhelmed and it feels like you can't catch a break. Your 20s/30s were supposed to be the best years of your life but it feels like you woke up one day and needed to have your whole life together. You have a constant tightness in your chest, you can't remember the last time you had a good night's sleep, and you know you haven't been on top of your self care routine for awhile now. You're looking for some relief, a solid sense of direction, and to feel good again. I hear you and I can help.

In this fast-paced, demanding, and constantly changing world, the majority of us are experiencing different levels of stress in our daily lives. Most of our stresses are created by the pulling between two opposite ends. One end is need, responsibility, change, family, work, relationships etc. The other end is want, calm, fun, consistency etc. My work is focused on how to walk in the middle of these two ends and still have a life full of meaning. My practice is providing a safe and supportive environment, focusing on the here and now and strengthening self-awareness.
