Managing life challenges can be difficult and exhausting, especially during such strange times as the ones we are living through. In addition to helping you navigate this collective trauma, my goal is to help you unearth your path to authenticity and life satisfaction while working through the obstacles that come up, however they might present themselves.
In our time working together, you will have a safer space in which you can make meaning of your past experiences, understand the patterns causing your current distress, and find the empowerment and coping tools you need to move forward with the changes you would like to see in your life.
Whether you are here because you are grappling with your LGBTQIA+ identity, are struggling to manage mental health issues, or would simply like to collaborate on finding your way to personal growth, I am here to listen and help you fulfill your goals :)
