Your life is a constant juggle, a never-ending to-do list. College, work, family, & unexpected life shifts—your plate is full to the brim. Sometimes, it feels like you're drowning in responsibilities. The weight of it all can be suffocating, leaving you utterly exhausted. You've become a master at putting others' needs first, but who's taking care of you? You keep telling yourself, "It'll be okay," while pushing down the mounting pressure, but deep inside, you're struggling. You wear a brave face but you long for a moment to pause, to be heard, to acknowledge that it's okay to not be okay.

My clients are aware that something is not working and are motivated for change, even if they're not sure where exactly that change starts. My clients are often very conscious of the systemic stressors that make their lives more difficult, and come to me looking for support as they navigate challenges and imagine their futures.

Sometimes life just gets in the way of remembering our true nature. I like helping people find their inner core-so they know who they are and are able to express themselves freely. Life is not always easy, but there is a ground of truth that sustains and supports us when we know who we are. Old stories often hurt and pain informs what we see and what we do. Therapy can help free us from mistaken beliefs and free us from the burdens of the past.

I believe that the first step to helping individuals is for them to acknowledge that they need help. From there, I can support them in creating goals that they want to achieve so that they can feel confident and encouraged to face life's challenges.
