Find a therapist
Ever feel like life’s a puzzle, but you’re missing a few pieces? You crave to feel happy and at peace, but something keeps coming up. Whether you’re a first gen navigating life, a constant people-pleaser, caught in codependent webs or bravely breaking generational cycles. I get it. You might be wrestling with self-doubt, feeling overwhelmed by others expectations and struggling to say no or put yourself first.. If you’re nodding along, you’re not alone. Counseling can be the piece you need, let’s put the pieces together one symptom at a time and rewrite your story. I specialize in helping First-Generation Americans, people pleasers and those looking to break free from negative behavior patterns. If you’ve been feeling stuck and ready to rewrite your story with a healthier mindset. Improve relationships and lessen signs of anxiety or depression, I’m here to help guide you through this.
If you are someone who is breaking new ground in their family dynamics, or always putting others first, or feeling tangled in relationships, or bravely changing their own story but need support from someone who has been there before. I'd be glad to help you through this journey. Where we use questions as guides and stories as maps to help you discover your strength, resilience, and break free from what's holding you back.
