Therapist Overview
Do you find yourself faking a smile, taking on and taking care of EVERYTHING and EVERYONE, saying “it’s fine” while it’s clear that you are disconnected, anxious, tired, burnt out? Experiences of stress, pressures, expectations have built up and you’ve moved farther away from living a life for yourself. You’ve found it hard or even impossible to be TRULY you as it requires a risk of being rejected, shut down, or misunderstood. So you’ve convinced yourself that you need to just keep it going to fit the expectations that family, society, culture and the world have placed onto you…ultimately leaving you stuck. I get it. Reaching out for help is SO hard and for women and other communities, there has been messaging to believe you shouldn’t reach out. That’s real AND it doesn’t have to be your full story. Imagine not having to give up or put aside your own needs and desires for others and feeling more connected, authentic, empowered, and unstuck. I help POC, women, and young professionals connect with their values, find their true voices, shift narratives, and have more fulfilled and meaningful lives and relationships. I offer teletherapy to individuals and couples throughout NY state. My style is authentic and compassionate, which my clients appreciate. I look forward to connecting with you!
