Accepting clients Last Updated 2 days ago

I specialize in working with college students navigating the layered experiences of trauma, anxiety, depression, or neurodivergence. Many are juggling academic pressures, social dynamics, family expectations, or big transitions like moving away from home, managing independence, or dealing with burnout. What they all have in common is a desire to feel more grounded, more connected, and more in control of their lives. They want to break out of old patterns, make sense of past experiences, and show up more fully in the present. They're looking for a therapist who brings both practical tools and genuine empathy—someone to help them reconnect with themselves and move forward with clarity and confidence.

I bring a direct, compassionate, and often humorous approach to therapy. Using EMDR and ACT, I help clients explore the roots of their challenges and build tools for real-life change. I believe healing happens at the speed of trust—and I center your inherent wisdom every step of the way.

Clients often come to me when they’re ready for real, meaningful change. I’ll offer steady support, honest reflection, and deep belief in your ability to grow. Therapy doesn’t have to be cold or clinical—it can be warm, collaborative, and even lighthearted. Don’t hesitate to reach out with questions or for a consultation.
