AND MANY MORE

Hey, you! Yes, you. You are enough.

But somewhere along the way you learned that maybe you weren't. Whether it's from early life experiences of abuse or neglect, the racial injustice you experience at work or even in your family, or the limitations of chronic pain that you experience every. damn. day. You've read all the books, you've listened to all the podcasts, you've tried talk therapy, and you're still stuck, feeling like you've lost touch with who you really are underneath all the masking you do to appease others.

There's nothing wrong with you.

I know that you want to find peace in your own skin and your identity. That you want to set boundaries without doubting yourself. That you want to be social without an anxiety hangover the next day. That you want to wake up in the morning and know that you can get through your day without getting derailed by a pain flare. I can help you have a different experience.

I'm an expert on racial identity issues, chronic pain, and complex trauma for people pleasers and highly sensitive adults.
