About My Clients

Are you struggling with anxiety or existential angst after a major life change? Whether you've recently graduated, moved to a new city, or been diagnosed with a health condition, you may feel lost, stuck, or groundless. If you're finding it hard to form meaningful connections due to confusion or low self-confidence, you're not alone. I specialize in helping individuals navigate life transitions, build self-awareness, and create their purpose.

My Background and Approach

My approach is direct, individualized, culturally sensitive, and trauma informed. I practice from an Existential and Philosophical perspective, and utilize Experiential and Relational Processing. I incorporate values work and mindfulness, along with compassion, humor, humility, and here-and-now relating.
