Life can be overwhelming. It's hard to navigate all the expectations and responsibilities of a busy life. It can lead to simultaneously feeling as if you're "too much” and “not enough.”

I will work with you to set goals, examine difficulties, and find realistic solutions that provide relief and clarity. I want to help you to improve your day-to-day life.

My personality is authentic, direct, and interactive. By employing empathy, honesty, and a touch of humor, I believe it helps to create a comfortable working environment to meet your needs.
