Each stage of life and facet of your identity presents its own obstacles to navigate. Maybe you’re a young person dealing with pressure from family & trying to define your identity. Or, maybe you’re an older adult who feels disconnected from yourself & like you’ve spent too much time caring for others. You might be an immigrant or first-generation American balancing cultures & trying to make things better for the next generation. In any case, it feels like change happens too fast, & it’s hard to catch your breath. All you want is to feel like yourself & find joy in your life, without feeling guilty for prioritizing your needs.
I specialize in helping teens, young adults, & older adults overcome anxiety & feel less pressured by the demands of family & culture. We’ll find tools and activities to help you feel less overwhelmed and shift your perspective about your role in life. I believe you’re capable of what you want & can grow into the person you’re meant to be through this work.
I want to meet you where you are, take the time to understand your story, and help you prioritize what matters to you so you can feel fulfilled by life rather than exhausted by it. Together, we’ll learn to let go of guilt, communicate needs, & you’ll be able to reconnect with yourself. Reach out to schedule a free consultation. I can’t wait to meet you!
