Recognize yourself?

✓ You pour yourself into your work, juggling multiple projects or businesses, yet still feel like you’re falling short of the success you “should” have.

✓ You ride waves of highs and lows, all-in one week, completely drained the next, unsure how to find balance.

✓ Your mind races with self-doubt and indecision. You seek validation through your work but still feel unworthy deep down.

✓ You crave connection but keep repeating the same relationship patterns that leave you feeling confused and alone.

✓ You’ve battled feelings of isolation and low self-worth for years, unsure how to break free from the cycles of depression and disconnection.

If you answered yes to any of these common struggles, you could benefit from Individual Therapy.

What’s Included:

  • Initial Consultation
    Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and see if we’re the right fit. You’ll share your story, learn more about my approach, and together we’ll decide what feels most supportive moving forward—whether that’s weekly or biweekly sessions.

  • Ongoing Sessions
    Each 60-minute session can take place virtually or in person, depending on what works best for you.
