About My Clients

Many clients come to me with rooted issues from their past currently affecting them now as an adult. Throughout our childhood, we grow to learn how to respond accordingly to our environment. It became our solution and they were effective. Until you're an adult and you realized behaviors like placating, over-working, needing to always stay positive, and others can be unhelpful towards well-being. I see clients who need help with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, burnout, and life transitions.

My Background and Approach

Sometimes it feels like the past keeps coming up and you feel stuck. I am here to help you get to the root of what is triggering the challenging emotions and behaviors affecting your life. We will work collaboratively to find that "i" in in.sght and identify your values, strengths, and resources that have helped fertilize your growth. Those lived experiences have roots to gain in.sght into yourself to facilitate transformative change. When you're ready to begin digging it up, I'm here.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As humans, we seek social connections. It is an evolutionary design to help us recognize threats and safety for ourselves. The more isolated we are the more sensitive we are to feeling unsafe or in danger. We seek people who are willing to understand us and open to us. This is why I value personal and community growth to help us heal and grow internally and externally into who we want to be in our environment. My goal is to help align others to their personal values and choices to move towards self-acceptance, self-love, self-worth, and meaningful life.
