Perhaps you’ve been feeling nervous, maybe even for no clear reason, and it’s making it hard to focus or function well. Some people even feel like their mind has been playing tricks on them - like having extraordinary experiences where you’re seeing or hearing things others don’t seem to see or hear.

When you’re in college, anxiety can sneak up on you fast. One minute you’re managing, and the next, you’re overwhelmed, burned out, and wondering why everything feels so much harder than you thought it would be. Maybe you're putting tons of pressure on yourself to be perfect. Maybe your motivation is gone, or you’re stuck in a loop of overthinking and self-doubt. I specialize in helping college students work through these exact challenges. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavi...
I believe that every person holds the power and resources necessary to find happiness. As a trans woman I understand both the external and the internal forces that create self-doubt and spike fear—the loneliness, the separateness, and the tailspin of uncertainty. I know, too, from professional and personal experience that self-acceptance and happiness are within everyone. Science upholds this belief, telling us that those who seek help benefit from it. For me this is not a theory, but the p...

Anxiety has a way of creeping into every part of life—especially during college, when so much is changing so quickly. You might find that small stressors snowball until they feel completely overwhelming, and then suddenly you’re snapping, shutting down, or withdrawing—and even you aren't sure why. That constant state of being “on edge” is exhausting, and without a way to process or release it, it can take a real toll on your well-being, your relationships, and your ability to focus and grow. ...

Having graduated from Washington University in St. Louis in 2008 and having worked there for 7 years as well, I understand the challenges that students at elite universities can face - academic stress, perfectionism, anxiety, self-worth, family pressures, relationship issues, worries about the future, all the existential questions that can arise in the midst of new experiences, and more.
