Does day-to-day life feel overwhelming? Is it difficult to give yourself the same compassion you would give to a friend? Maybe you are going through a life transition and feeling a bit alone. Life challenges and changes can cause a lot of uncertainty and stress. When this happens, we can all benefit from having an accepting, non-judgmental space to talk, feel heard, and be supported.

From an outside perspective, you’ve got it together. But inside, do you feel like a bumbling cartoon character trying to keep your 27 hats balanced on your head while juggling 14 balls… ? Are you going through a life transition and feeling bombarded with stress, anxiety, depression, maybe some imposter syndrome? Does your inner bully like to smack you sometimes, or your past self sabotaging behaviors run across the stage….again? Life transitions can be overwhelming and daunting - especially if you keep telling yourself you "SHOULD" be fine!

Life’s transitions can get the best of us sometimes. It is not easy to see the rainbow behind the clouds when you are amid the storm. Difficult times of adjusting to these transitions are also the opportunity to grow. I believe having a supportive & non-judgmental environment helps us heal. If you are struggling with a relationship question, want more out of your relationship, trying to figure out parenting during changing relationship dynamics, or if you or your child are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma, etc., then I would feel privileged to create a safe space to start your healing journey.

Are you often worried or think of the worst-case scenario? Do you feel lonely but embarrassed you will burden others if you reach out? Maybe you feel you are “too emotional or too much.” Do you often feel out of place? Is it difficult to find your voice and set boundaries? Sometimes we may need someone with an outside perspective to listen, and remind us of our strengths. ¡Saludos! My name is Lluliana, and I am excited you are here! I take a trauma-oppression-informed approach to treating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, childhood trauma, and other issues.
