Maybe rest never actually feels restful. The moment you slow down, guilt, anxiety, or the pressure to be doing more starts to creep in. You may be balancing school, work, relationships, and family expectations while feeling emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or unsure where your own needs fit.

I work with college students, graduate students, and young adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, burnout, emotional regulation challenges, body image and disordered eating, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. I also support clients healing from childhood trauma, PTSD or complex trauma, family conflict, discrimination, and experiences that have affected their sense of safety or belonging.

Many of my clients are BIPOC or multicultural and want space to explore racial identity, cultural expectations, family-of-origin patterns, and the pressure to succeed without having to minimize or explain their experiences.

My approach is trauma-informed, relational, direct, and collaborative. Together, we’ll explore patterns such as overworking, people-pleasing, shutting down, or avoiding difficult emotions. We’ll also build practical skills for emotional regulation, communication, boundaries, and self-compassion.

My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident in your voice, and connected to who you are beyond productivity, achievement, or other people’s expectations.
