Feeling overwhelmed/stressed? Together we can develop personalized tools to bring you calm.
If you experience challenges related to identity—gender, sexuality, or race/ethnicity/culture, including bicultural & intergenerational issues—I provide a supportive space to build confidence, self-esteem, and coping skills.
If you are a woman navigating challenging relationships, work-life stress, reproductive health issues, menopause, or caregiving responsibilities, I offer compassionate support to help you feel seen, heard, valued, and confident to navigate through.
My holistic, mindfulness-based approach supports your mind, body, and spirit. Together, we’ll gently explore your emotions, shift unhelpful thoughts, and develop new behaviors that align with your values and goals. I’ll walk with you as you process past hurts and move toward the version of yourself you have always wanted to be.
Reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to explore how we can work together to create a life you love, that brings you peace, joy and contentment. You can also find me on Psychology Today
