Therapy for when you’re not where you thought you’d be

What stops you from living your best life?

Do you feel unexplained terror at the mere thought of failure? Maybe you've convinced yourself you're a fraud, just waiting to be exposed. On the outside, you have everything you’ve ever dreamed of, yet there’s still a feeling of discontentment. Perhaps you're unsure of what steps to take to get you where you'd like to be.

We all deal with things that hold us back. I want to help you pinpoint those roadblocks so you can overcome them and show up for life on your terms.

 
 
 
 

It's important to hit the pause button to discover what you want and who you truly are

If that sounds like something you want, working with me might be a great fit. I believe in creating a non-judgmental space where you come as you are — not the perfect, polished version you might feel pressured to be.

I work well with the following issues

(see if any of these sound like you)

Voicing your own needs with confidence

You tend to make sure everyone else is taken care of and put yourself last in line. You don’t want to rock the boat or seem “needy.”

Learning to deal with stress & anxiety

Life is constantly coming at you. You can’t keep up. And to make it worse, you feel too burnt out and overwhelmed to do things that make you feel better.

Facing down your imposter syndrome, once and for all

You’re over always feeling like a fraud, just waiting to be “found out” and deemed incompetent.

Dating & Relationships

Maybe you're tapped out on settling for situationships. Or maybe you’re in a relationship but struggling with bringing your full self into it.

Navigating Neurodivergence

Procrastination, feeling disorganized, trouble managing time. It feels like you are navigating a world that was not designed for you. You want support getting from intention to action.
