I have experience in working with depression, anxiety, life transitions, and school stress.

Being from upstate NY, I also understand some of the isolative parts of the experience, and adj...

College is a big transition.

It’s exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming, isolating, or just… a lot. If you’re struggling to find your rhythm, you’re not alone. And if you're an international student, this transition comes with even more layers—adapting to a new culture, navigating visa uncertainty, ...

I am particularly well-suited for college students, as I ran a research team with students for more than ten years and won the top mentoring awards at both of the universities where I was a professor. As a former professor, I do have a unique understanding of young adults and their needs. The clients who fit best with me tend to be bright and intuitive and perhaps even “overthinkers” who I often teach to think less, ironically! :) My clients come to me for a number of reasons, but one co...
