About My Clients

In our fast-paced world, my clients often find themselves imagining life in the future, getting pulled into the virtual world, or reliving past events, all of which distract them from awareness of the present & increase feelings of exhaustion, anxiety, overwhelm, and like they just aren't good enough. I help adults & teens with anxiety explore their thoughts, get familiar with their feelings, examine their actions & interactions with others, and find ways to (re)connect with oneself.

My Background and Approach

My approach is collaborative, inclusive & playful. We'll set goals together that reflect your personal experiences & interests. We'll explore the interaction between your thoughts, feelings & behaviors to identify where to try something new & create your desired outcomes. We'll also explore your unique experiences from your family & cultural backgrounds. By exploring your values & taking time to build on your strengths, my hope is that you can reclaim your motivation & lead a life of meaning. My goal is to support, encourage & challenge you to live the life you want to lead and improve your relationships with others, starting with yourself. I never judge my clients, but instead seek to understand them from a place of acceptance. Self-love, acceptance, understanding & growth can begin (or continue) in this warm & inviting space, free of cultural and societal expectation. With me, you can show up just as you are.
