At the outset of life's journey, many carry aspirations to respond eagerly to the call-to-adventure, in order to lead rich and meaningful lives. Yet, along the way, there are plenty of adversities and afflictions that impede one's journey. To boot, in a rapidly changing, shapeshifting world, confusion and disorientation can create difficulty in making sense of one's experiences and seeing a path forward. I consider it my professional mission to help individuals heal from traumatic experiences and other psycho-emotional injuries, and to see them unburdened from the obstacles that hinder their personal growth.

You struggle with the sense of not being good enough, the relentless anxiety and worries, low mood, feeling alone and lonely, and not belong. You suffer from the imposter syndrome, experience guilt when it wasn't your fault, and end up feeling resentment after constantly serving others' needs.

You would like to feel happy and content in life, build self-confidence, stop worrying too much, enjoy relationships, and shake off the thought you should be doing more.
