Hi there, and welcome! I'm a licensed clinical social worker with a deep commitment to supporting college students through life’s challenges. I specialize in working with young adults experiencing anxiety, depression, identity exploration, relationship concerns, and academic stress. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and nonjudgmental. I draw from a blend of psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness practices, and cognitive-behavioral tools, always tailoring our work to your unique needs an...
Many of the students I work with are trying to juggle a lot: school, work, relationships, family, and their own mental health. Some are dealing with anxiety, depression, or ADHD, while others are working through trauma or just feeling stuck and overwhelmed. What they tend to have in common is a desire to feel better and a willingness to take that first step toward support, even if they’re not exactly sure where to start. I work best with students who want someone who will listen without judgm...
Do you struggle with depression, anxiety, or poor self-esteem? Do you struggle with an "inner critic" telling you that you are not good enough? Do you struggle to just get through the day? Does social media make you want to burrow back into bed or hide under a rock? These are challenging times for many of us. The strategies we have used to manage life, to handle our feelings, don't seem to be working anymore. And being a college student means constantly discovering who we are, which isn't al...

We will explore the thoughts, feelings, and reactions that arise in therapy and in your daily life. Whether you are looking for extra support during a c...
Therapy is emotionally hard for everyone and most people at some point in their life have seen a therapist or could have benefited from seeing a therapist. The hardest step is the first contact.

My focus is on helping you discover your strengths as a way to live a happier, positive and more meaningful life. I believe in a compassionate, strength-base...

Counseling looks different for everyone-it is not one size fits all. I use methods that work for you in that moment and can vary by session. What you may need one day may not be what you will need the next. I aim to give you a safe, non-judgmental space to tell your story how and when you are ready. Together, we will have honest, sometimes uncomfortable but needed conversations. We will address barriers, examine boundaries, set goals, and work towards finding your voice. I have worked with in...
