College can feel like a lot—new responsibilities, new people, and big decisions all while you're trying to figure out who you are and what you want. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by the pressure, struggling to set boundaries, or just trying to adjust to everything changing around you, you don’t have to navigate it alone. In therapy with me, expect a mix of honesty, humor, and real conversations—without the repetitive “And how does that make you feel?” (Let’s face it, that gets old.) Whether you know exactly what you want to work on or we're figuring it out together, we’ll focus on what actually helps you move forward. My goal is for you to leave each session with something tangible—a new perspective, a skill to practice, or a bit more clarity than you had before. If this sounds like what you’re looking for, let's figure out if we’re a good fit—or find someone who is. Either way, you don’t have to go through this alone.

We provide in person therapy, tele health and social distance therapy (nature walk and talk outdoor one-on-one counseling). In these trying times, pretty much everyone can benefit from counseling. We can always better ourselves.

Walk and talk therapy can potentially be a healthy form of self care that can lead you to balance and equilibrium during these trying times. Together, we can help turn an wicked problem into a manageable challenge.
