Bio

Are things overwhelming right now, or maybe they have been for a long time? You’re an adult but feel like a child because your parents treat you like one, and you find yourself resenting them but still want their approval? I understand how this can make you feel trapped and frustrated, and I’m here to help you navigate these complex emotions.

Maybe you thought things would be better after you got married. You’d be free and able to live the way you wanted and wouldn’t feel ‘trapped.’ Now, you’re struggling with your in-laws, who won’t give you the stamp of approval because you’re not good enough for their ‘baby.’ You’re not happy, and they aren’t happy with you. Your spouse doesn’t help you, and you feel alone again.

Are you stressed because you feel like you’re living a dual life, your feet in two different worlds, both important to you, but you feel caught in the middle? The cultures clash, and what you value from each culture is condemned by the other—you can’t seem to win, and it’s HARD.

Everything is overwhelming ALL the time and no matter what, you end up feeling stuck, unhappy, and maybe even lonely. Imagine what it would be like to tell people “no” or decide what you want and make it happen. It’s scary to think about, but you’ve toyed with the idea but aren’t sure how to make it happen. What if you started being able to live your dreams and stop feeling guilty or ashamed of those desires? What if you could let go of having to be ‘perfect?’ This is my wish for you.

I understand that saying ‘no’ isn’t easy and can feel impossible. As your therapist, I will guide you in learning to set limits and boundaries with those you love the most. This process will empower you, giving you the control you need to start listening to your own voice and heart, and drown out all of the pressure and judgment from everyone else. The journey may seem daunting, but you will not walk it alone, and you’re not meant to. I will be there to support you with each step and move, helping you reclaim your life.

If you’re thinking or ready to start living a life that supports your desires, dreams, and hopes, schedule your complimentary phone consultation with me today. We’ll talk a bit about what you want to work on and what you can expect if you work with me. We can decide if it’s a good fit. As someone who’s been there, I know it’s scary, but everything you want is valid and possible with some change.

Let’s work together. Contact me today.
