My passion is to help young adults who feel stuck, anxious, or sad, especially during big life changes. Knowing firsthand how tough it can be to manage stress, loss, or anxiety while adjusting to life’s transitions, like having a tough breakup or going through medical trauma when having chronic pain and illness.
