I work with individuals navigating complex emotional experiences, identity-related stress, and life transitions. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to take action. I often incorporate mindfulness-based strategies into our sessions, while also helping you set clear weekly goals to keep you motivated.
We'll look at what's keeping you stuck and develop a plan to help you move forward with clarity and confidence. My approach is affirming, inclusive, and grounded in the belief that everyone deserves to live authentically and feel mentally well.
