Young people often have a mistrust of people in the helping profession because many are too cerebral, too impersonal and too disconnected from their reality! I have been working with young people not by accident but because I enjoy working with them. High-school and college aged students are real and I appreciate how honest they are with what they think and feel and need. I keep therapy on the lighter side not as a strategy, but because it's who I am as a person. I am a rare therapist in t...
I like to view myself as a modern and relatable therapist. I love working with college students because young adulthood is the time in our life with the most changes in comparison to our entire lifespan. It is when we are trying to establish ourselves as individuals, separate from our families and perhaps even the town we grew up in. We are faced with endless opportunities and the freedom may feel scary. Some young adults have feelings of anxiety and depression due to the level of independence a...

You put on a brave face for others saying, "I'm fine", suffer in silence and hope time will make things better. The only emotions that can hurt you are the ones you don't acknowledge. Unanticipated life events, relationship struggles, grief or things you "just cannot identify" cause you to feel anxious, isolated, angry, frightened, disconnected or unworthy. You are simply human, like the rest of us, wanting to feel relaxed, connected, engaged, inspired, confident and valued. I invite you to make...
