When we find ourselves held back or stuck in life, it can be difficult to see another way. We may go through the motions of each day, but know deep down that we feel unhappy, anxious, vulnerable, scared, and hurt. Our history, identities, and relationships are key to understanding why we feel stuck, and how we can feel free. I am committed to helping you feel free. Free to be your authentic self, to choose what you want in life, and to let go of or make peace with the things that no longer serve you, so that you can lead a life rich with meaning, love, and growth.

You find it challenging to express your needs and establish personal, relational, and professional boundaries. You recognize navigating your emotions and processing them can be difficult in a world that often doesn't make space for this. You feel pressured to appear "perfect" in all areas of life, leading to exhaustion, burnout, and frustration. Your sense of self might feel unstable, and you long to connect with your authentic identity. You need a supportive space to explore your past and create a meaningful path for your future.
