Last Updated 4 days ago
I work with many populations but focus especially on college-aged students dealing with challenges in their personal and academic lives. I help clients explore anxiety, depression, family trauma, identity, and the pressure to succeed in systems that don’t necessarily bolster emotional and physical health. I look forward to working with and learning about you. Please feel free to reach out with questions or to collaborate on how you can feel most supported in this therapeutic space.
