Do you find yourself comparing your life to those of your peers? Do you feel overwhelmed about making the “right” career choices? Do you worry about making other people happy? I specialize in working with college students and young adults in the workforce struggling to cope with anxiety, relationship difficulties, and navigating what it means to become an adult with increased responsibilities, pressures, and decisions. Whether this is your first time in therapy or a recent stressor in your life has led to a need for increased support, I will work to ensure that you feel heard, understood, and safe.

I believe therapy to be a collaborative process where we work together to unite your past and present, and help you to work through your problems towards a healthier, happier future. I place a lot of emphasis on creating a warm and welcoming therapeutic environment to allow you to be your most authentic self.

Through my work with college students and young adults in the workforce, I have been successful in helping clients find relief from painful experiences and overcome existing barriers. In our work you will be able to discover new insights about yourself and get to the root of your challenges. My goal is to help you regain control and see long term change.
