I help young adults who are constantly worrying. It is like a “What if…” reel is running in their minds. My clients get stuck (often in their heads) and despite being smart, thoughtful, and hardworking they are struggling. When they first come into therapy, they feel paralyzed by anxiety. They tend to have active minds and are often imagining various worst-case scenarios playing out in their lives. Their worry gets in the way of the life they want in so many ways. They’re avoiding things t...

Whether the core concerns are straightforward, like seasonal affective disorder (a short-term depression caused by winter), or more abstract and complex patterns of negative emotional s...
I have loved working with students since 1987. The process of discovering one’s authentic self can be exhilarating and the rewards are exponential. My approach focuses on strengths, augmenting the health that is already present. Learning how to see one’s self (and the world) in this way is a courageous and creative process. By recognizing patterns in relating — to one’s self and others— there’s a clearer sense of what’s precious to you, what gets in the way, and how you can realistically be ...
Thank you for considering working with me. I do both therapy and/or medication management. My approach is a team approach where I work collaboratively with you.

I strive to make a welcoming environment for all students with diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQ students. My private practice is mainly u...
