You’ve long been holding it all together
–but who is holding you?
When you aren’t fully where you want to be in your life despite all your efforts, it makes sense to feel stressed, disconnected, and less like yourself.
You long for a life of fulfillment, meaningful connections, belonging, and the freedom to be yourself.
But instead, you’re:
Constantly second-guessing yourself because nothing you do feels good enough
“What if I regret this later? Did I say or do the wrong thing?”
Feeling like you have to prove yourself in everything you do
“If I can’t do this perfectly, what will they think of me?”
Feeling behind and wondering why everyone else seems to have it figured out
“Why does it seem so easy for others and so hard for me?”
Overanalyzing everything because you are afraid of making the wrong choice
“What if I make the wrong move and everything falls apart?”
Feeling stuck in a cycle of procrastination, planning, or doing and redoing
“Why can’t I ever just be done with something?”
Wanting to enjoy life but struggling to slow down without the constant need to do more
“Why can’t I just let myself relax and enjoy what I have without guilt?”
You are more than the ways you’ve learned to cope, and you don’t have to keep pushing just to hold it all together
Overworking, overthinking, second-guessing, procrastinating, people pleasing –these are not personal flaws. These ways of coping are deeply human, often necessary for survival, and understandable parts of your journey. They have helped you get through overwhelming moments.
They absolutely make sense.
But you don’t have to keep carrying this weight alone. There is another way –one that doesn’t require more effort, more pressure, or more proving.
One where you can find new and more empowering ways of responding to life’s challenges that align with a greater sense of ease, agency, confidence and self-trust.
Welcome to
The Authentic Self Project
Reclaiming confidence, self-trust, and ease in your life
You already hold the wisdom and insight you need to grow. But it’s hard to access that wisdom when you are tangled in the stories you have been told about who you should be.
As an immigrant woman of color, I understand firsthand how complex and layered our identities are, and how this can leave us feeling weighed down by all kinds of “shoulds” and “not good enoughs.”
What I’ve seen in my over two decades of experience as a coach and psychologist is that real transformation happens when we meet ourselves with curiosity and compassion.
Curiosity helps us reconnect with the parts of ourselves we have suppressed, creating space to rediscover who we truly are so we reclaim the freedom, confidence and ease that we deserve.
Compassion allows us to gently explore and respond to the stories and pressures that hold us down, without judgment.
How Compassion and Curiosity
shape what we work on together:
Cultivating Self Trust
Instead of constantly questioning yourself, you will develop the confidence to trust your intuition rather than your inner critic.
Together we will:
Untangle the stories you have about who you “should” be
Reconnect with who you truly are
Take meaningful steps toward a life of clarity, confidence, and ease.
Our focus will be on spending less time being the version of yourself you think you should be and more time connecting with who you truly are- Your Authentic Self.
The coaching process
Transform Your Challenges
In our weekly coaching sessions, we will work together to help you develop a different relationship with the challenges that feel most alive and overwhelming to you – the anxiety, self-doubt, overthinking, or the exhaustion you feel in trying to keep up, so they are no longer things to avoid or design your life around.
Safe Space for Growth
Within the private and safe container of our coaching work, I will guide you to practice new ways of coping and thriving so you are empowered to confidently apply them out in the world.
Integration and Progress
Between sessions, you'll integrate your learning through reflection, intentional practice, and ongoing support via text or voice message. Week by week, you'll be encouraged to observe the shifts: what's challenging, what's working, and what you're discovering about yourself along the way.
Reclaiming Your Inner Strength
This process isn’t about fixing yourself. it’s about reclaiming the clarity, confidence, and ease that have always been within you.
Our work is to create a space where all parts of you are welcome, including the parts that feel messy, uncertain, or stuck.
