My approach is grounded in anti-oppressive trauma-informed strengths-based therapy that holds the intersectionality of clients' identities and addresses various forms of oppression that impact mental health and well-being. I will provide com...
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...

Do you have a sense that people don’t get you? Do you travel a different path than everybody else? Are you living your life very differently from what other people expect you to? Do people tell you that sometimes you are thinking way outside the box? Are your parents different from you and do they want you to be someone else? Life can be tough when you feel different. Different can also mean isolated, lonely, and misunderstood. It can also mean constantly asking yourself: Will I ever fit in? ...
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...
