How many times have you heard, “These are the best years of your life”? And who says this? [Hint: adults who went to college many years ago.] But if you ask a college student, there’s a good chance they will talk more about anxiety or depression than enjoying the best years of their life. According to the American College Health Association’s 2018 study, 63 percent of college students said they had “felt overwhelming anxiety” and more than 41 percent said they had felt so depressed that it wa...

Ahh, college - supposedly the best years of your life. But instead of enjoying yourself, you find instead that you're downright miserable. Every where you look you see a reminder of how you're not measuring up. You feel woefully unprepared for this lifestyle and it seems like everyone is aware of just how much of an imposter you really are. Getting through each day pretending like everything is fine takes a toll, and you question how much longer you can manage by yourself. Perhaps it time to bri...
Freedom is a heavy burden. The task of authoring our lives is a serious one, which cannot be meaningfully handed over to anyone else. In keeping with this belief, I work hard to respect the autonomy of the people I see in therapy. Rather than attempt to hand you solutions to problems in your life, I seek to understand with you as fully as possible the past and present factors that affect how you think, feel, and act. Understanding can be transformative. As we shine light on aspects of ourselves ...
Hi I'm Joanna — I'm a therapist for clients in Maryland and Montana and specialize in working with young adults and college students. I truly do believe that our vulnerability is one of our biggest strengths. When we allow ourselves to feel all the feels and still be accepting of ourselves, no matter what challenges we are facing, we grow. And that’s where I come in! I want to help you get there, too. You are meant to be exactly wherever you are right now, with whatever hurdles and struggles ar...
Life as a college student is supposed to be great, but at the end of the day it can really suck. Exams, studying, roommates, relationships, missing home - these are all things that can drive us crazy, not to mention any depression or anxiety that might have been hanging around before. And if you’re dealing with sexuality or gender identity issues, it can really feel difficult. If you’ve made it this far you’ve taken an awesome step towards figuring stuff out. It’s not easy to do, and therapy r...
