I help teens (14 y.o. +) and adults embrace their identity by offering safe space to process their story, addressing problematic patterns that disrupt their sense of peace and higher purpose, and by teaching practical tools to mindfully relate with themselves and others, authentically.

My clients feel disconnected, alone, and mildly depressed. Despite being resourceful, intelligent, and looking like they have it all together, life feels like a drag (and not the fun kind).

When they first reach out, they feel exhausted from feeling worthless and confused. Tired of living life the way their parents, friends, faith community, or work would want them to.

They make life choices that keep them feeling small and insignificant.

Some of my clients are spiritually motivated but religiously conflicted. They’ve had bad church experiences that leave them feeling very judged and very alone—especially if they identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community.

Often they want to worry less about what others think, and care more about themselves—guilt-free. They want to feel less responsible for others and allow themselves to take up more space in their lives.

Their sense of disconnection from their bodies or their thoughts gets in the way of the life they want to live in so many ways; whether it is overwhelming anxiety, inability to turn their mind off, or difficulty sleeping. They are not the kind of daughter/son, partner, student, friend they want to be. Out of this their confidence in who they are is lower than they’d like it to be.

Before they come to see me, they feel guilty for needing help. They worry that what they will discover about themselves will be scary. They feel intense shame over not being able to figure this out on their own. And they are certain that what they will find is they are not worth the time it takes to get to know themselves (sometimes for the first time).

Like my clients, you deserve to feel confident and secure about who you are, what you want, and where you want to go. You get to experience life judgment-free, to feel like you are home in your skin, alive, and not afraid. It is not out of reach for you to feel whole—to embrace who you are. If you want to make peace with confusion and anxiety, I am here to help.

You are not alone, and you are enough.
