Life is hard. Period. Do you find life is pulling you in different directions leaving you stressed and overwhelmed? Maybe this shows up as you finding it hard to say "no" to others? Or you thinking that you are “never good enough” Or feeling lonely and isolated from your family, friends, or culture, such that you feel like no one understands you, no one really “gets” you? Or sometimes you do not feel like getting out of bed or want to do anything. Therapy with me is a space for you to explore ALL that is blocking you from being the best version of yourself. A place for you to realign, renew, live your best life, & flourish.

Navigating life's transitions can be challenging at times. During those times, when you are living in overwhelm and wondering about which decision is best for you in that moment, who do you rely on to process that information? Where and who is your support system? Do you know what you need or want in that moment? You need a person and space where safety abounds and judgement does not exist. Let's talk!
