Whether you're starting college, moving to a new city, exploring career paths, or navigating relationships, this chapter is filled with major transitions. It's a time of asking big questions—about identity, belonging, purpose, and connection. And while this growth can be exciting, it often comes with anxiety, self-doubt, loneliness, or feeling lost along the way.

Maybe You’re:
-Feeling anxious, unmotivated, or unsure of what you want
-Constantly comparing yourself to others and struggling with self-worth
-Feeling disconnected from friends, unsure about your relationship, or lonely in a new city
-Confused about career direction or struggling to make major life decisions
-Navigating identity, sexuality, or finding your place
-Afraid of making the wrong choice or not living up to expectations
-Dealing with difficult family dynamics or crises
-Overwhelmed by the state of the world and unsure how to move forward with purpose

My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and non-pathologizing. That means I believe that what you’re experiencing isn’t a personal failing—it’s a natural reaction to the larger systems you’re living within. Together, we’ll unravel where your patterns come from, the ways they’ve protected you, and how you can begin to explore new ways of being.

We might:
-Get curious about your beliefs around success, identity, and self-worth
-Explore how family or cultural expectations have shaped you
-Understand the relationship between mind and body
-Work through shame, fear, or grief that keeps you stuck
-Identify your values and true desires, regardless of external pressures or expectations
-Begin to take notice of the patterns that are no longer serving you

Whether you’re starting college, building a career, or simply trying to figure out your next -step, you don’t have to do it alone.
