From the outside, nobody would notice the amount of stress you’re under. On the inside, you worry about how much longer you can hold things together - anxious, exhausted, wondering if this is really you. My guess is you don’t need another coping skill (you’ve tried them!). You need space to explore and process how you got here, to navigate your way to healing and higher functioning, and some honest-to-goodness support. I help clients explore the messages of emotions more deeply, address no-lo...

One of the biggest steps is achieving our goals is changing how we talk to ourselves. The negative, painful things we say to ourselves we would never think of saying to our friends. What would it be like if we could be as supportive to ourselves as we are to our loved ones? What could we achieve? I, also, believe in walking out of session with small, concrete, manageable strategies to try during the week and seeing what works and what needs to be tweaked. Let's celebrate what is already w...

College is a time of real growth — and real pressure. For many students, it's also when questions about identity, mental health, and how they move through the world come into sharper focus. I work with college students who are navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, identity exploration, trauma history, or the particular exhaustion that comes with being neurodivergent in demanding academic environments. Many of the young adults I work with are autistic, ADHD, or both — and are often doing so...
