Big changes and life transitions take their toll on everyone, and this period of your life is full of them! Everyone needs someone to talk to and navigate life’s unending challenges with. My preferred therapeutic approach is to support my clients by teaching them to develop the skills to alter maladaptive perceptions of themselves and the world around them t...

Do you struggle with depression, anxiety and/or stress in your life? I enjoy helping clients explore their life story and establish connections from their past with their current behavioral patterns. As we go through life, we often receive messages that having certain emotions are a bad. When we experience hurt, rejection and/or abandonment especially as a result of trauma we often become overly focused on finding ways to prevent ourselves from experiencing pain. This often comes at a cost which...

My intent is to offer clients the support, acceptance, insight and guidance needed in order to achieve a healthier and more fulfilling level of functioning in their lives. You may have already identified goals for self-improvement that you’d like to sort through, or maybe you are not yet able to articulate anything beyond your desire to alleviate a general discomfort, soreness, pain or paralyses you feel in one or more areas of your life. It is OK to enter counseling with more questions than ans...

Whether due to stormy family dynamics, unstable relationships, first-gen, LGBTQ, 'adulting', or having to navigate the never-ending COVID pandemic - life can become unmanageable! In the past five years with the University of Florida, I've had the tremendous joy of helping people (help themselves) through these storms - recent/old trauma, loving-and-conflictual relationships, coming to more peace and power with one's identity, more clarity and success at academics and career aspirations. You can ...
I appreciate how difficult the decision can be to engage in therapy and believe in the power of having a safe and nonjudgmental space to explore the challenges life often brings.

College life is exciting but can amplify challenges such as worries about how we present ourselves, what others think of us, our growing independence from our family, values conflicts with family and friends, adjusting to cultural differences, emerging relationship patterns, and friendship problems, all while juggling the stress that comes with school. The level of organization and time management required in college can also be harder to figure out all on your own. I remember the days when ...
I am an art therapist with a lifelong love for art making and creating space for people to experience healing and connection within themselves and their relationships. Art therapy utilizes the process of art making for its inherently soothing and therapeutic nature, as well as a means of communication, self-expression, gaining insight, and problem solving. I offer empathetic listening, compassionate support, and helping people tap into their own answers, strengths, and skills. I work with al...

I have many years of experience with students and adults seeking help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, substance use, and relationships....
I've been working with college students for over 25 years, using an approach that combines self-understanding ("how did I get this way?") with practical, specific methods to change behaviors and attitudes (" how can I make my day better tomorrow?") Whether the problem area is depression, anxiety, academics or a complicated relationship, talking it over with a professional -- and looking at all the details together -- can definitely lead anyone to a more satisfying and comfortable existence. ...
