Do you feel like the one everyone leans on, or stuck in patterns you can't quite explain? I work with clients navigating anxiety, trauma and PTSD, relationship conflict, and codependency, along with identity and how culture shapes the way you relate to yourself and others. My approach centers your voice and your story.
