I specialize in working with those who appear “okay” on the outside, but inside they’re overthinking, second-guessing, or bending themselves to keep others happy. Those who want to say no more often, strengthen their relationships, feel more confident, quiet their inner critics, or feel more at ease with their bodies. I provide virtual sessions for those in NY, CT, and NJ.
