Accepting clients Last Updated 24 days ago

Young adulthood can be a time of tremendous excitement, joy, and opportunity. It can also be stressful and scary! I love working with people in this time of life as you navigate becoming yourself. I offer a welcoming and affirming space where you can explore the big and small questions you're facing about your identities, your relationships, and your future.
If you're bringing a history of trauma or family conflict with you to college, I can help as you sort through it at your own pace and decide what you are ready to leave behind and what is important for you to carry forward. Feeling anxious or depressed? Therapy can be a safe place to learn and practice new skills to help you improve your mood and self-acceptance.
The success of counseling often comes down to fit with your counselor—do you feel heard and seen, understood, and accepted and supported? This can be hard to judge through a profile. I offer a free 15 minute phone or zoom call to help us get a better sense of each other before you schedule an appoinment. I look forward to hearing from you!
